When purchasing a new bike, do you get the fit done first and then select a bike that meets the fit or do you buy a bike and then they fit you to that bike? I am not set on buying my buddy's Cannondale but he is giving me a pretty good deal so if I can make it work, that would be nice

Edmonton has some fantastic bike shops and knowledgeable people who can guide you.
Very few off-the-shelf bikes will be a perfect fit so you can expect to make changes regardless of new or used. With new you can at least expect some credit for traded parts/upgrades, whereas with used you need to deal with the stuff. If you buy new you may be able to get a discount on both fit and parts, but if used is your likely path then you might also be able to access the used gear market too (or online).
