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.
Concerning the part I put in bold, get rid of the aero belly or, at least, suck it in while the camera is on.
Nice that you got advice for a good place to be fitted...at least it sounds like a good one.
