Thanks!
*I* say wear the shoes, others say bare feet. My reasoning is that Lemond's method (came from his coach at the time) is from the distant past when they used toe cages and shoes were different, and some people suggest now adding 2 mm or 3 mm or other adjustments. The heck with that, it's more logical to just measure with the shoes on.
Disclaimer: I'm not a "bike fitter" btw, just a cyclist who does his own thing. I am a firm believer in applying reason and common sense to the bike fit, with as little "magic" as possible.
