    Other than have me stand over the bike and ask how much space over the bar I had, the fitter didn't do any measuring which made me pretty skeptical. I'm going to head to two other bike shops today and see what they say to compare sizing.

    Thanks!
    Oh yeah, look at the geometry. When I was shopping for my 7.2fx, the wsd and men's had the same geometry. IT started changing slightly as you went up the fx scale, 7.3,7.5, etc. I printed it out and took it into my lbs and they were surprised. I thought maybe it was a mistake...I liked the mocha better than the blue, so I got the men's. I'm 5'4 and the 17 inch fits me best.

    it was true!

    Went to another LBS shop today. Two guys working, one thought I looked more like a WSD 19 and went to get the other guy who had actually been to the trek fitting school. They let me test ride a 7.5 and a 7.6, made seat adjustments, went through the bike with me. And they have a year of free service. Same chain, but totally different service!
