(cool, another member of the "Lynda with a Y" club!) The bike fit is definitely worth it. I bought my road bike 2nd hand, and it's an ok fit but not a perfect one, the guy who did my fit session said he would have sold me the next size down but "the best bike is the bike you have" and he did his best. Man, the bike became SO much more comfortable - I "suddenly" became faster and stronger!

and welcome to the wonderful world of women on wheels!
