Please do me a favor and don't interact with me on these forums any further. Thank you.
Sorry you feel that way but you must admit, your post was pretty much senseless in that your fitting was terrible. It's hard to sit back and watch posters posts topics that are just way off base. This is a public forum and if you don't want to be criticized or corrected while posting junk threads, then you are better off not posting until you learn a thing or two before spouting off how sweet your bike is when it's not.

Fitter being helpful setting up a bike disgustingly wrong is not helpful. You ought to be thanking me for setting you and that so called "fitter" straight. I'm not sure how you expect to come here posting a bunch of garbage and not expect to be corrected. Thanks to me, now you know your fit was a bunch of garbage and had it corrected, you are welcome!

Baseless screeching? Geeze dude, anybody with half a brain will tell you that fit is everything on a bike, and yours was garbage. The fact you went back and the "fitter" (hahaha) had to move the saddle 1/2 inch tell you he's not very good at his job.

As far as selling your bike, learn how to read. I did not suggest you sell your bike, I suggested you get a bike that fits. The way you had it set up was silly and again, anybody with a half a brain would suggest you "BUY" a bike that fits from the start. If I had bought a bike sold to me by incompetent salesmen, you can bet I'd be back there demanding a bike with proper fit.

You may think this is senseless screeching but the next uninformed poster that sees his bike set up the way yours is, will know there is something terribly wrong.

Another little something to tell you your bike does not fit correctly. If the "fitter" (hahaha) had the saddle set so poorly but you noticed a great improvement in your performance, then moved it back 1/2 an inch, then you'd definitely lose that great gain you once had when it was set up in the poorly (poorly as in safety sake, read the saddle manual as that is where I got some of my senseless screeching).
