I am not going to a fitting specialist and pay $150 just for a few measurements. The devil with that. I can get by just fine with this Discover I customized. I might someday splurge for a Cannondale (model under $1,000) so outfitted.
I can't use a banana seat because I have a rear carrier I actually use sometimes. I like my spring seat anyway. Believe me when I say I like it, please.
Yeah you lost me when you said "stupid bicycle". It seems like you don't have any interest in this so I guess do whatever and stuff, who cares.
To those actually looking to be comfortable on their bike a fitter does a lot more than just a few measurements and one cannot realistically fit themselves. To say a bike fitter just does a quick measurement or two is so false and as someone who has done a fitting, I can say it really helped me a lot and I am much more comfortable on my bike which I was decently comfortable on before.
