I'll let others comment on what is involved in the fitting process but I do want to comment on the above quote. I do not agree that the diminishing returns part applies, a good fit is a good fit whether your riding in the tour or do three 20 mile rides a week. I don't want the diminishing returns part pop up 15 miles into my 20 mile ride in the form of knee, ITB, shoulder, hand, hamstring or any other pain when another $50-100 could have taken care of it.
