Portland Bike Fitting

Hello.. Can anyone recommend the best place to get a fitting done in Portland. I don't have a lot of money, so what I do have I would like to use wisely. I am looking for one of those professional 'career' fitters.. some one i can really trust. Not someone who just got out of mechanic school and is eager to tell me what they think. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

No experience with them myself, but have a friend that uses them and she recommended them to me.

+1 Micheal Sylvester trains bicycle fitters. He used to work for Bike Gallery, so their fitters are pretty good, too.

Yea, that guy looks great. However, $100-150 for a fitting is a bit pricey.. I was hoping like $60-100. Is that reasonable? I have never been fit before, so I dont really know what to expect price wise. Additionally, would it be possible (or not rude) to get a fitting and then, if new parts were needed, have the old parts put back on so that I could buy them cheaper somewhere else (ie craigslist)? I am really trying to keep costs down.
