Agreed, also find a fitter who is skilled at fitting for the type of riding you do. A shop that sells racing bikes is going to be more inclined to fit you in a racing position, aggressive with bars lower than your saddle. If you came to our shop we would fit you in more of a touring/commuter mode - ie higher position of handlebars, a little bigger bike.
