Going for a fitting
I am one of those people who has always believed that I could set up my own bike thank you. But, I finally gave in thanks to my new neck after my C1-C2 fusion. A friend and ex-racer who is currently a rep for a variety of cycling companies suggested a shop that's local to me. So, I spoke to Steve who basically blew me away with his knowledge about bike fitting. So, I made an appointment for Tues and am pumped to see what happens. Steve said the fitting will take about 3 hrs. and will include an interview, body measurement, video of me on my bike, a check out on the fit cycle to see how it all comes together. And, he keeps the stats and video on file for future reference. Cost is $175 which I think is pretty good. He also mentioned "Stack and Reach" as a way of fitting. I tried to get some info via Google and saw how it's figured but am having trouble finding which body measurements relate to Stack and Reach. It's all going to be a trip I think.
