    Hi Everyone!

    I finally went with the 2010 Specialized Dolce Comp! She sure is pretty!
    I get fitted soon - I have never had that done before - why does it take at least an hour?

    Thanks Again!

    Congrats on the new bike!

    They'll probably do a somewhat more involved fitting aside from just making sure the saddle is in the correct position. Maybe they'll check that the stem isn't too long/short, the shifters are in the correct position, etc.

    Also, if you're going clipless, it can take a while to get the cleats placed properly and any tension or float adjustments made.

    When I did my fit, he had me pedal for quite awhile. I believe he was waiting for me to settle into my normal cadence--instead of the first few pedal strokes where you are paying attention to your form.
