I'm trying to help my wife shop for a new tri bike. Our local shops (seattle area) really don't offer much tri specific inventory, or qualified fit advice (at least that I've seen). Someone posted about Yacqui a few days ago, and I was poking around their site. Which led me to this question...
If a qualified fitter isn't involved in the bike purchase are you better off getting a custom frame from someone like Ves who presumably knows a fair amount about tri fit?
My gut feeling is that it isn't a guarantee, because so much of achieving a good position isn't just about your measurements. However, she is pushing me to get her a P3, but for that money we could get a custom, which has a certain panache to it as well.
