I"m pretty overwhelmed and suffering from paralysis from analysis.
What's a good video or videos on bike fit? I'm just trying to get close for now - since I suspect a professional fit is in my future.
Thanks.
I'm not sure a video is quite the thing, since it shows someone else on a bike, not you. What a fitter sees is you on a bike, which is different. I have a little DIY primer here:

which can get you started.
There's also another DIY thing: Google bikefastfit. It's an iPhone app. There's a review of it here:

There's also a way to get the app to work on an Android phone, here:

If you're going to be your own bike fitter, might was well go about it methodically. It's just about getting your joint angles within ranges which have worked for most people and getting balanced on the bike at the same time.
