Thanks to my bike fit, I'm in mourning.

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

What kind of bike fit did you get and who did it? If it was done properly, you shouldn't have any sores.

Title should be "i buys bike to big to be fit too."

The problem can't be fit if your bike is too big.

Actually it can. I'm always too far forward on my saddle and my sit bones don't get to do the job they were meant to.
