Hi,
I used a company called Pearsons in Sheen near Sutton for a geometry fit.
They also recommended a bike that fitted my riding style and reach etc
I brought the bike form them and my first ride was brilliant, no fussing with tweaks.
They will setup your own bike after a fit too.

!0 miles? Think how fast it'll go on the way home after the fitting!

My bad, sorry, I had a mental block, they have branches in both places but do the fittings in East Sheen
I've been in there a while ago, but tbh I didn't get much of a vibe from the place.
I know most of the shops local do it but that's my I asked can anyone recommend one.

No worries
It is pricy but you get about 2-3 hours worth and they do the works on you
I thought it was worth it but then I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a bike and find out the bike was no good for my frame
Hope you get what you want at the price you can afford
Most places that do a proper bike fit on a jig will knock some or all of the cost of a new bike. Even if they don't (and mine did), you can apply the printout to every bike you ride or buy - that alone saved me a fortune over the years from not buying the wrong length stem etc, let alone hours farting about with multi-variables of saddle and bar position.

I got money taken off my bike after my fit so actually made the fit really inexpensive
As for reach, stem length and saddle position, I was able to get within 5mm on a stock frame of my stem length

I know a really good place the other side of the Airport from you Andy.... We can meet up one weekend if you fancy a ride over there, I'm over your way quite a bit, my best mate lives in Ashford
Sounds like a plan, what place is that ?

I've used a couple of places within a ride from you for bike fit. Which one I would reccomend would depend upon how deep your pockets are
Sigma Sports in Hampton (BG Fit)
Ruslip Concept Store (BG Fit)
Freespeed Acton (Retul Bike Fit)

If you fancy a day trip to Ealing...................... the Bike Whisperer gets my vote. You get about 3 hours with lots of tweaks, a husband and wife team working out of their home, coffee and a friendly dog called Fettle

I fully admit to being highly, possibly unreasonably, biased towards them and was pointed in their direction by the good folk of LFGSS.
