We bought our bikes online and seem to have picked the right sizes. No complaints after a year anyway. It's not as reassuring as having a real fitting session with an expert, I acknowledge. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1033#post-9551 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:29:51 +0000 steveo 9551@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got measured up at the Tricenter very interesting to have your ideal geometry etc. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1033#post-9549 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:23:30 +0000 spytfyre 9549@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got measured at Alpine when I was buying a bike so I could go for the largest (and most efficient?) frame </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1033#post-9548 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:20:38 +0000 chdot 9548@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Suspect it's here</p> <p><a href="http://www.thetricentre.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.thetricentre.com</a></p> <p>(Used to be part of/associated with BikeWorks) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1033#post-9545 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:10:39 +0000 Smudge 9545@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Having read interesting articles about it, and seen online somewhere that bikeworks offer the service (though I couldn't see anything on their website), I wondered if anyone on here had been for a bike fitting session? How was it? Useful? Also are there any local(ish) shops offering the service (says the man with dodgy knees and iffy ankles...!) </p>
