I have just had the most professional experience I have ever had in a bike shop. These guys really know what they are talking about, no bullshit they wiill not sell you what they have in stock they will sell you what you really need that will improve your cycling experience and performance no matter what your discipline.
Let me explain.
I went in on a busy Sunday morning in order to purchase a new frame for racing. Rob the shop owner took a huge amount of time using his considerable experience to put me at ease. His recommendation was to have a Cyfac postural bike fitting.
This fitting has proved to be the best money I have ever spent on cycling.
The measurements are detailed and it uses algorithms to assess you best cycling position. The appliance of science. Good enough for Thor Hushovd then good enough for me.
Rob is now researching the best frame to meet my requirements. In the mean time he set up my old bike according to the new geometry from the measurements.
What a revelation I am now more comforatble and producing more power. I felt like Eddi Merckx on my way home the difference was noticeable and almost instant.
Before you buy anything go and get a bike fit at Lifecycle. Rob and his team are brilliant. I am really looking forward to seeing what sort of a frame they can come up with.
Chapeau Rob and the boys at Lifecycle read more
