Great thread , though the advice is scattered.
Getting a bike that fits it's like getting your first outfit that really fits , whether it's a suit or dress.
After you know what a good fit feels like, you know what everybody else is talking about and you won't have a good notion untill then.
You can let the bike maker set the bike up for you, just like you can buy clothes by mail,
but you have to be some kind of a dreamer to think it's going to fit right.
You don't have to have a $200 bike fit to get it right, but you got to think like those guys do, and look at EVERYTHING.
Sometimes the 200 bucks is well spent. Cheaper than splints.
Angles and hand weighting changes make a huge difference for some people
"Doctor , Doctor, it hurts when I go like that."
"Well, stop it, then."
