Subject: Where to get fitted for a bike....cheap
So I need to get fitted before I invest in a tri bike. I've been doing some research on bike shops, in the Denver/Boulder area, that do bike fits.  The cheapest fit that I've found is $200.  The shops offer to put that $$$ towards a bike...IF you purchase from their store. BUT, I plan on buying a bike online.......the deals are WAY  better.
So, does anyone in the Denver metro area know of a shop that can give me a basic fit that is relatively inexpensive???????

I was fitted at Schwab Cyclery in Lakewood for $25 and he gave me team discount on everything I bought.  The only thing he sold me was a shorter stem, and I picked up some other stuff on my way to pay.  Haven't needed a refit and this was 2 years ago.  I suggested Schwab to another BTer and he had a terrible experience, however.  I ride a road bike, btw, which I bought years ago at Sports Garage who also did a good job on fitting, but when I put aerobars on I went to Schwab cuz they're a lot closer for me.  Seems like their focus is roadbikes, but the website says they do fittings for all styles of riding including TT. 

Schwab Cyclery

eta: the bad experience was not with fitting, btw, but general bad attitude from an employee.

Hans at BikeSource in Littleton has  a great reputation, I'm going there in the fall for clip-on aero's, etc. and a fit.  He's not exactly cheap though, but at $175 the word is he's very thorough and meticulous
