Where to get a bike fitting

[andmalc]

Hoping this isn't too off-topic here:

Does anyone in Belleville or area do bike fittings?  I'm looking to invest in a decent quality touring bike and the one I'm considering (Rocky Mountain Sherpa) comes in different crank and stem lengths, as well as 5 sizes of frames.

Otherwise, there's this guy in Kingston I found on the web:

Certainly a reasonable price and it looks very comprehensive.  Keep in mind there are two different steps, a bike sizing and a bike fit.  What this company does sounds like a bike fit which is the second step in the process.  It sounds like you are still in the bike sizing stage, wondering which frame size to purchase.  You might want to contact BikeFitPhysio to see if they provide the first service.

In Trenton we look at sizing as a component of the manufacturer of bike you are looking at.  As an example we have had numerous Medium frames in the store from different manufactuers that range from a 52 to 58".  We have a sizer that will measure you for frame height.  Once sizing is complete then position or fit based on seat forward/back, up down, tilt, stem length etc. is done.

Remember that bike size should put you on a frame size that can be manipulated to fit you and that your fit is as dynamic as you are.  Some days your muscles are tighter than others so the seat height needs to be adjusted as an example.
