Hiya,

I'm also an Oakland girl, and go to Cycle Sports on Grand Ave (www.cyclesportsonline.com). I started going there because I had a hybrid and went clipless, and was having big problems with my knees. They are certified Serotta fitters, and they did a fitting for me on and got me so I had no more pain.

This spring they did a complete fitting on me, and I bought my beloved Serotta from them. They are great and thorough- I highly recommend them (particularly Ian, he's a man who loves his work- if you go, tell him Amy with the steel Serotta sent you). Ian in particular has a great attitude- they will get you what you want and need, not what THEY think you should get.

I have knee issues, shoulder issues, carpal tunnel, neck problems and low back problems, plus I weigh over 200 lbs, plus I'm only 5'4 but have insanely long legs, so the fact that they designed a bike for me that fits like a glove is a testament to their skill (and to Serottas, of course).

Happy bike buying!

-Amy

By the way, Cycle Sports sells both Trek and Cannondale......
