Just wanted to add my 2 cents -- I live in Hartford county, CT. Metropolitan. I've been to five LBS's so far and NONE have offered to fit me. Every one of them has done the standover. I've heard rumors that one or two of the shops will offer the true fit of the bike only after you agree to purchase, and another will fit you for something like $150, which they will refund if you buy a bike from them.
