Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Best LBS in NYC to get a great fit?

I got my bike a few weeks ago, and while they fit me to the right size and made a few adjustments, I'm not sure they did a thorough "fitting" for me. Maybe they did, I'm not sure.

I'm having some finger numbness, and I've been told that it could be from a number of things, most significantly, bike fit, technique, and gloves. I figure I should start with a professional fitting to make sure that is in order, and at the same time they can give me some pointers on my technique (I need to place less weight on the bars I think mainly).

What is the best shop in Manhattan for a thorough, professional fitting? And how much does a fitting usually run?

Thanks.

I like TOGA on the UWS. I am not sure how much a fitting would run you.
