I went to a LBS today shopping for a new triathlon bike. I planned on scheduling a professional fitting session before choosing a bike, however the guy in the bike shop told me they could get me fit for a bike in 10 min by using this new laser system that takes measurements of your body, that it's just as good as a $250 professional fit, and that they do it for free. So i stood in this machine that scanned my front and back, then we went over to a computer, and it spit out a bunch of measurements for my ideal bike. They set up a Cervelo P2 with the measurements and I will say it was a comfortable ride, but I'm quite skeptical that these few minutes worth of body scans can be considered a replacement for a professional bike fit. I think I will still get the professional fit before choosing a bike, but I was curious if others thought this process has any value. Here is a link to the info about the shop's "Perfect Fit" system http://roll-online.com/...erfect-fit-pg154.htm.
