Has anyone used this? Is it worth the $30?

I am looking at road bikes. I am often not impressed with LBS fittings. I have seen too many people that would sell a 62cm to someone 5ft tall just to get the sale. I would rather know what I need and go find it myself.

Don't waste your money. A computer program can't give you a good fit. The only way you can find the right size is to test ride bicycles until you find one that is a good fit.

The links in my sig line provide some very good information about bike fit without all the nonsense found in so-called "fitting systems".

I've heard that roadbikerider.com (http://www.roadbikerider.com) will be doing a review of this software sometime in the near future. Their newsletter is free, and really good too.
