Bike fit options
I have been riding for two years and have yet to get an actual bike fit. I have 3 options and i would like your input. The first option is not a chain of stores but some of you might have experience with that style of fit. The other two are more main stream and i'm sure someone has used their systems.
Option 1: Tri-Tech Multi-sport fit. Their site says the following "FIST (Fit Institute Slow Twitch) philosophy for the on-bike portion. They use a "Serotta size cycle" for their fits. Cost 150$ https://www.tritechmultisport.com/services.htm
Option 2: The specialized BG fit system
Option 3: Fit at a TREK store. Cost $150
Thanks for any imput

Back in the day, this is how we did "bike fit":
"Fit" is a bit subjective depending on your riding style, intended use, etc. What system does your local shop offer? Who do you feel most comfortable with?
EDIT: The beer was an essential component.

Talk to other riders and find out which fitter is most well-respected and experienced. It's not about the "system". It's about the fitter.
