Any of you hear of this guy before? Any of you close to there?
Namaste,

edit: added another link :p
He gets written up quite a bit in the bike mags.
I've heard of this guy, around here there's so many cyclists and especially in Boulder. It's really cool that someone it taking bike fit to the next level. When I got my road bike I had it professionally fit for me but not quite like this. It's really important to get your bike fit to your body as it'll save you from a lot of pain later on. I had not idea how many variables there are to fitting a road bike. On a downhill mountain bike it's just not that critical.
yeah, it seems like in mountain biking in general, it's not as critical. I think it's because we move around so much on all mountain bikes, but on the road bike it's such a steady, constant movement.Quote:

We'll be out of town next weekend and will hit a Kelowna bike shop for a road shop fit. That should help a lot. I was really thrilled, though, when DH told me he'd read about this guy and suggested next year a road trip to Colorado to get properly fit!!!! That would be the coolest holiday ever! :D Especially if there's anyone from Team Estrogen to go for a ride with, once we're there!
if only we didn't need to work for a living...I'd be there this week!

oops
DH has such a better memory for detail than I do. He wants to get our Mountain Bikes fitted. how cool is that?? Guess the road bikes will do with the shop fit....our real babies get the professional treatment. Yahoo!!!
