When I bought my current bike, LBS did some basic fit for me and while not perfect, it was/still is more then I could have done myself. Just looking for something similar this time around too - at least get me in more or less proper position which I can tweek little by little myself...
Sorry, man, I completely misunderstood you. My bad. I assumed from your original post and thread title that you knew already that you needed one.
Let me say then that I wouldn't fix it if it ain't broke, but again, that's me. Certainly if you have the cash to spare, and spending 3 hours in a bike shop going through what I can only assume is a very laborious and tedious process, then even if you "don't need one," I think that it would certainly have its benefits. Call Glen, though! He will steer you right.
So let me ask you this question, then:
If you don't know whether or not you need a custom fit, were you asking about shops that do them just out of curiosity? If not, then are you looking for one, and if so, why? I guess my limited understanding of a custom fit that costs usually between $200.00 and $300.00 is that if you need it then you need it and should bite the bullet; BUT that you only need it if you are having problems riding that can't be solved with a few quick tweaks and changes.
