Set it up yourself

Use your measurements to set everything up as needed.

How it works

Common questions

Do I need a bike of my own?

No. A Pre-Purchase Fit is on our fit bike, so you don't need a bike of your own.

What do I need to bring?

Your shoes and the kit you actually ride in. We fit you to how you ride, so wear what you'd wear on a normal ride.

What's in the report?

A detailed XY report, which is the set of measurements that decide your frame size, and a measurement file of your fitted position.

Do you set the bike up for me?

No. A Pre-Purchase Fit gives you the numbers, and you use them to choose the right size and set the bike up yourself. Frame Finder includes a second fit, where we set the new bike up for you.

Should I book Frame Finder instead?

If you want help choosing the bike as well as the fit, yes. Frame Finder is two fits for £350, with a recommendation of which bike to look at, and the new bike set up to your fitted position at the second fit.

What if I need to cancel?

Life happens, and we understand. You can rebook your fit as long as you give us notice.

I already own my bike. Is this the right fit?

No, a Bike Fit works on the bike you own.
