Well no "formal fitting" to speak of, but the lbs salespeople were attentive. The 23" (58cm) frame of the Fuji gives me about 1 inch of clearance. There is no other adjustment as it has a threadless headset. I don't know what other factors, geometrically speaking, come into play (although, I've always had a bike, I never got *into-it* all that much. Anyway, I don't feel over-extended, although I wouldn't mind if I were a bit more upright. When I bought the bike, a couple of months ago, it was suppose to come w/ an adapter which would help put me a bit more of an upright position. I wanted the adapter in black not chrome/silvery color. The lbs people have had a difficult time getting a black colored adapter... they do have the normal chrome color, but that make the bike look tacky. Black would blend in with the (blk)headset much better.
