That's exactly what I was concerned about, that it'd be a matter of chasing my own tail. I think I'll wait until I have a better idea of a specific issue that I want resolved (weight on hands, tightness in hamstrings, etc.) and at least it will be more targeted and I'll have an idea of whether I've fixed something or not.
Is it uncommon to take two bikes to a fitting and get set up for both? Is that usually charged as two independent fits, or an incremental increase off the first, or it varies?
I'm in San Diego - hence the number of alternatives. I didn't post that because I wanted to focus on the general process, not turn this into a "must go here, those guys suck" "no, those guys suck, must go HERE" thread. Just wanted to make it clear that just about the whole spread of alternatives is available.
