The fitter put me on the Serotta Size-Cycle, asked me if I knew the numbers of my current bike, and set up the Size-Cycle with those numbers. He looked at me and proclaimed there was nothing wrong with my position on the bike. I was done in five minutes rather than an hour. And instead of charging me the standard then $100, he charged me all of ten bucks.
I'd probably say that's good reason to recommend that fitter, esp if you knew others that they actually helped.

It's always good to see someone with morals that can look at something and know that they really don't need to do jack because it's good as is, instead of doing this that and the other thing to make a buck.
