You need to talk to Todd Carver from retul. I believe his email is Todd(at)retul.com. I went to Colorado and got fit by Todd. He provides excellent service, a great fit, and everything else you'd expect. I personally ride a felt da. Todd also sells felt and other brands. Todd can take your measurements and then ship you a bike set up to fit you.

After being fit I was amazed at how comfortable my bike was. I really can't recommend him enough. Tell him Chris Thornham from Vegas sent you. I just saw him at interbike last week.

I think you need to read this:

I had a Retul fit (by Todd) and I was very satisfied- they do a great job.

A few comments to your questions:
- My fit session was on an existing bike and took about 90 minutes. Getting a fit on a 'mule' is one session
and coming back with a bike is another time commitment so I would expect a higher price for doing it that way
(which I agree is the best way to go about it)

- Measuring your basic coordinate should be fairly quick - the time consuming part is balancing position with power
with comfort which can only be done with your final bike and components. You circle around a bit like:

Aero bars move in 2 mm, seat goes back 1mm, now your toes are going to sleep,
need to adjust cleat or shim your foot...now the aero bars feel funny ...

- Bike shops and fitters will be pre-disposed to the brands they carry...I wouldn't expect a perfectly objective opinion
from anybody that sells bikes. Be prepared to do you homework -or post your coordinates on Slowtwich and you will
get several brilliant answers, several credible but completely wrong answers, and advice that, even before you have a bike,
your seat is too high.
