    Don't go out of your way to get a bike fit, unless you're finding you're having particular problems (or are perhaps thinking of racing and want to establish your "best" position)

    There are some basic steps you can take to make sure you get an appropriately sized bike, and help get sensible saddle and handlebar positon. There are a few threads on bike fitting some of which go into those basic setup steps
