just curious, how much do professional fittings run? at all feasible to fit yourself with the aid of someone else using google video instructions or is that just nowhere near the same (or possible) ?
OK. I see what's going on here

You want wheels, so buy some wheels. But, don't buy them under the guise of being a better and more competitive track racer. A bike fit costs (ballpark) between $75-150 depending on where you go. Wheels, tires, and tubes are gonna be $400+. The better value is probably in the bike fit. But, hey, it's up to you.
