Sizing
& Fitting

We use our experience and knowledge to find the correct fit. By adjusting our sizer, whilst monitoring your body posture with our eyes, not an app.

We'll guide you through the sizing, to give you a better understanding of the changes we are making to sizer and what they will affect.

Our sizer

We use a Calfee “Sizer” as seen above. It is a fully adjustable bicycle to the exact millimetre and angle to replicate the frame geometry, and can also set the seat post, saddle, handlebar stem and crank length. Even the right type of handlebars and pedals can be added.

Once it is set up, you can feel what it is like to ride and we can fine-tune anything to make sure that you get the perfect fit. For tandems, we do this for both riders.

Sizing

[sahy-zing]

Using our “Sizer” and a humble tape measure, we will take various measurements throughout the sizing session, that represent your optimal size.

Fitting

[fit-ing]

Using the sizing data we fit you to a bicycle or tandem, by using Bike/TandemCAD to alter the dimensions of a frame, crank height, and seat & handlebar position.

Virtual Fit

Our most popular sizing option, as it does not require a visit to our studio. We'll size and fit your bike virtually, taking all the necessary information from you, using an easy-to-use data form.

Download our editable bike sizing form and email it over to us.

This information is then transposed onto a Bike/TandemCAD drawing and is used when building your bike in our workshop.

Bike Fit

Bike Fit is aimed at the rider with an existing bike that needs to get a comfortable and efficient position. It includes adjusting your cleats, sti/ergo shifters position, a more detailed analysis of your riding style and advice on replacement equipment if needed.

60-120 minutes

Custom Fit

The Custom Bike Fit is based on measuring you for a custom bike or tandem (£95 for the two of you by the way) starting with a blank sheet of paper and our sizing jig as a custom sizing. Or by setting the jig to your existing frame geometry and working around that to get the best fit. Your existing bike can then be made to fit you by adjusting or changing stems, bars, saddle and even cranks if need be. We’ll also ensure that your cleats are set up correctly. Includes detailed drawings for you and as mentioned the fee is refunded when you place your order with us for an applicable bike or frame. If you order at the time of the fitting then no charge is made.

£125 - Solo

£145 - Tandem

If you proceed to buy a bicycle or a tandem from us,
we’ll refund you the cost of the Bike Fit.
