So...I've never had a proper bike fitting before last night. As a deal between my current sponsor and Molly Cameron, she provided a bike fitting for free. It was really interesting to hear her input on bike fit, crank length, and training for cross. Her and I compete at cross throughout the year and she gave me some good feedback on my riding style (I tend to push a bigger gear and she spins). Even though she and I are similar in most dimensions, she runs 170mm cranks and I run 175mm. Now I'm thinking about dropping down to 172.5 on my cross bikes 
Overall it was a lot of fun to spend the evening BSing about racing and getting input on my position. Her shop, the Portland Bicycle Studio, is nice and has a cool setup with all of the fitting gear. I'm going to take what I learned and put it to use and if my new position works out, I'll have a full custom Ti frame built around it.
