$500 for a fitting? are you talking about something like the old "Fit Kit"? where they measure you leggs, torso arms, ect? they have gone up alot since I worked in the business. we used to charge about $50 and normally if your were buying a really topshelf bike it would be no charge.
while a well fitting bike is impotant for the quality of your workout I feel some of us just get too caught up looking for the perfect fit.
