Subject: Bike fitting in SE Michigan. There seems to be 2 places that offer bike fitting in the Detroit area. I just finished building up two bikes...a tri bike and a road bike, and want to have at least the tri bike professionally fitted, since I've heard it can make such a huge difference in speed/comfort/etc.
The Bike and Tri Shop on the West side, which is a bit farther from me, charges $150.

Frasier Bicycle is quite a bit closer, but charges $250.

Does anyone have any experience with either, or both, of these shops? All else equal, I'd rather save the $100, but over the life of the bikes, it's probably trivial, so if Frasier is strongly recommended, they are a lot closer.
Also, would I typically have to do two full fittings, or is it reasonable to ask for some kind of discount to have two bikes done? Also, would it be better to have one bike fitted, and simply transfer the measurements to the second bike myself, as far as seat position, height, stem and handlebars, etc?
And simply because I'm excited about them, here's a picture of "N-1" and "N," lol.
