I've checked the ST database but was wondering if anyone could recommend a LBS or local fitter with a fit bike.

thanks,
Eric

OK thanks!

I guess I should have said "northern Virginia" instead of southern DC... shows that I'm not from around there!

Hold on .... I don't remember if they use a trainer bike or have a fit bike.

Is this related to your post about renting a fit bike? If so, the recommendations may be different if you want a bike shop with a fit bike, or if you're looking for a fitter with a fit bike. I know my list is a little different for that case.

Parvilla Cycles has two locations (Edgewater, MD and Bethesda, MD) with Guru DFU fit bikes and Retul, these would meet your needs.

I've made the drive to Richmond from NoVA to see Dave.

Now a little closer to NoVA is Haymarket Bike Studio in The Plains-Jared Nieters is owner/super cyclist. He has a fit bike there and the studio shares space with a good coffee shop!

What about North of DC in the Baltimore area? I have an IA10 on which I'd like to optimize my fit.

Much appreciated,
Matt

Not quite Baltimore, but Stu Waring at Parvilla in Bethesda.
