It's $175 for the fitting. I kind of thought the same thing as you Irulan but I'm not sure how I can broach that subject without alienating a shop that, for the most part, has been really good to me. I like the techs. They don't treat me like I'm a stupid female newb. And the fact that I have an entry level road bike not an expensive one doesn't seem to make a difference to them. Plus it's not like paying for the stuff means I won't be able to eat for a month, not that I'm made of money. I think both the guys who were helping me last night really felt bad but they don't have the power to do anything. Part of me is somewhat relieved that my issues may not be related to things I'm doing wrong which is of course where my mind initially went. I feel kind of stupid that I bought too big of a bike but what did I know? It was my first foray into road biking and although I did a lot of research and test rides before I bought it, it never occurred to me that someone would actually sell the wrong size bike to a person. I guess I'm a little naive. Lesson learned.
