I found the wall of expensive "adjustment parts" in the fit-area to be amusing.
Shorter stem? $90
Saddle? $190
Cleat adjustment pads? $20
handlebars? $125
Insoles? $50(with a full shim kit).
You could damn near walk out of there with a $1000 bill if you weren't careful (including the cost of the fit). Funny enough, many of the parts looked to be take-offs...
I found the whole "professional fitting" thing a bit like going to the doctors but without the umpteen years of medical school training. A lot of faith is required.
