Subject: Bike fitting question... I am getting a fitting this weekend. It will be done at the LBS I have shopped at for 27 years! The shop is family owned, run by Dad (Bob ) & Mom (Evonne ) and there son James. I even raced on the shop's BMX team when I was a kid with James. The only bike I did not buy from them is my tri bike, which is the one I getting a fit on. James will be doing the fitting. He is a track racer and is a roadie at heart. He had some training in FIST and will be doing the fitting. He is meeting me on Sunday morning, 45 mins before the shop opens to start the fitting. He is charging me about 1/3 of the normal fitting price. He will make adjustments as needed. He also said we will go and ride after, so he can watch me on the bike and make adjustments if needed. He said he is going to give me the "team" fitting (He is the Capt'n of a respected and successful racing team ). I judge he is going out of his way for me, again.
My question is, with the history I have with them, is it appropriate to tip? If so, how much? I am planning to bring a couple of dozen doughnuts for the shop and mechanics. |
