Bike Fit Question

[cyclingnewbie]

I'm not specifically looking at WSD bikes. I have found that a traditional road frame tends to be a tiny bit long in the top tube (on most of the bikes I've tried, so far) and some of the WSDs do have a little shorter top tube length. But the WSDs I've seen so far have not been able to accomodate my long legs. And your right; I haven't found that I have a reach issue with the levers. I am thinking about a professional fit. Actually, I am thinking about getting up the courage to go to the local pro-oriented shop and ask them to do a fit. They make it clear that they are not interested in the recreational rider as a customer, but I would think they would be willing to do a fit for me. They will probably die when they see an inexperienced female-fat-forty-something darken their elite doorway. So far, the bike shops I've been to have used the try-it-and-see-how-it-feels method of fitting a bike.
