I'm buying my first road bike, and understand that getting "fitted" is very important. I've done a lot of research and narrowed it down to a 2007 model that fits my needs.
At one bike store, this bike costs US$999 and they have their fitting specialist spend 45 minutes to an hour with you. He's been at the store for 15 years and has all kinds of certifications in fitting.
At another bike store, the exact same bike is $1199, but they do a computerized Fit Kit fitting.
Service levels and service plans are identical at both shops.
Obviously, I'd rather buy the same bike for $200 cheaper, but does anyone know of a reason why it would be better to get the computerized fitting as opposed to the "manual" one? Are there pros and cons to each type of fitting?
Thanks for any input!
