Some time ago I worked in a shop that had an early Fit Kit. If you went by their numbers you fitted a bike as if it was for racing only. Over time my method evolved. I'd start a conversation while measuring the customer and their bike. Then have them warm up on a trainer, still conversing. The numbers were nice, but talking about riding and watching them pedal was the real fitting. It was very enjoyable; I miss it.
