I hope you have a great fitting!
Thx! I didn't realize that about the Terry Fast Woman. I'll geek out the specs and a dealer. I had written it off as a brand since it's wsd in nature.

The fitting shop did have a Cervelo RS on display (again, big size). I geeked out the geometry and I think the stand over would be if-y. I'm 29" inseam so metric that's 736mm. The xs size RS is 732mm. If I do the Lemond 2/3 of your inseam as a starting point, that's about a 48cm bike. I'm 5 4 1/2" (used to be 5'5" until I shrunk). With most of my height being upper body, I could take the longer top tube... and/or stem. Which ever way it works out to fit.

I am kinda excited about the fitting. I hope it gives me some answers I need.

It's a particular brand of reverse snobbism...
I appreciate your sharing that. I would agree. OK, yes, the price of the bike is high. But, if I weigh that out to what my bike does for me, it's so worth it! Physical health and mental well being--plus just joy. Gheez, if I added up all the unhealthy doctor bills, shrink bills, and anti-depressants... hmm, I think the snob group would have a hard time arguing that. Well... OK, they would still probably argue.
