AuntieK "I hope you can find a bike shop who will do a free sizing with your purchase. Have fun shopping! "

I agree with Auntie, my LBS fits bikes free with purchase and does a great job. He fit my ol' Trek although it was purchased elsewhere. I'm sure he got his time paid for by the stuff I needed to do to it to remedy ahem the poor fit I got in the first place

I can understand charging to check the fit of a bike you already have that feels "off" or needs adjustment.

But charging extra when you buy?

No wonder so many ride bikes that don't fit, and give up the sport 8-(
