Value for money gravel/ adventure bike or a cyclocross bike

Chad! Thanks for answering my queries. Your answers made me even more curious.

Since Im having second thoughts on my recent frame selection bike fit, I have booked a bike fit to another fitter who is also a physiotherapy. - he uses trek precision fitting.

The one I used before was retul and I was pretty happy with it. I think trying to replicate tt position on a road bike is not optimal which I think what my fitter is trying to do.

What is MFGR limits? I read an article that some bike fitters tend to put small riders weight at the front end as opposed to your rear end and also suggest zero offset seatpost. Any thoughts on that as a bike fitter?

If you don’t mind me asking, whats your take on bike fitting and some renowned fitting such as body geometry, retul, guru fit, trek precision fit, gebiomized with saddle pressure map?

I test rode the cervelo aspero at 51. The bike feels nimble and i have full control of the bike.

Just another question, do you recommend your clients who has hip issues like impingement or had surgeries to go shorter cranks to open up the hip angle and prevent injury in the future?

What is actually the difference between tt position and road bike position? Correct me if im wrong, in tt position you are in front of bottom bracket for better power transfer while on road, its more behind the bottom bracket right?

Will keep you guys posted after the bike fit this saturday.

Thanks again.
