About 15 years ago I had a fitting. Cost $150, took about an hour. The fitter was seriously competent. The shop sold Serottas.
Fitting evaluations are predicated on philosophy. Serotta was go-fast. The fitter was spec'ing me to a go-fast bike. The question for you is whether you think your fitting was appropriate for the riding you do and will be doing over the next 10-15 years. If I had bought the Serotta, I would be very unhappy today. It would not have fenders. It would be constrained to 24mm tires. It would have been a really lousy all-purpose bicycle. My advice is... take the long view... Riv isn't selling bikes to 20 year olds. Riv is selling bikes to people who want comfort, beauty, and quality. You have a beautiful Hillborne. Challenge your mental model. Get a shorter stem. See if it works.
