Bike fitting NYC
#26
They are the new kids on the block and I have not heard anything about them in this regard.
I have had fittings done which cost about $250 the first time and $125 or so for the next time I come.
My suggestion is pretty simple.
Go there and talk to the folks and see what you get. The less expensive fittings are fine in regard to setting up the saddle height, angle, position in relationship to your
pedals and cleats. Perhaps a quick stem or handlebar adjustment.
The more expnesive fittings do a BODY measurement of some type and that takes more time and should give some added benefits.
Bottom line: If the saddle is not set right and your knees hurt you will never ride long in the saddle. The basic fits should improve these issues but the higher pro fitting
will work with you until they get it right and should take about 2 hours as the basic may take 30-40 miutes.

I am a PT , do not belong to any store and has been doing bike fits for over 2 years. I ride with Triangle group and fitted a lot of guys there. I live in Brooklyn, and do fits in my place or yours, depends what is easier. I spend an average of 2.5 hours with the customer and do a comprehensive evaluation. Feel free to ask questions

Hi PT_bikefit, I'm interested in learning more about what you offer in terms of fitting, I tried to message you but apparently I have to have 50 posts on this forum under my belt before I am allowed the privilege of a private message... (really, bikeforums?) can you perhaps post a link to your website (if you have one) or give me some clue of how I can contact you? I tried a search but that just showed up a PT bikefitter in Seattle...

Since the OP is looking to improve his current bike, how might a "fit check" produce positive benefits beyond seat height and position and seat style? If the stem is adjustable, that might help. Beyond that...parts replacement?

It could do lot. I bought my bike 5 years ago from Signature. Your body changes overtime. I noticed my knees bothering me more this season. I brought it in for a fit check. Turns out being 35lbs lighter after all that time changed things quite a bit. The seat needed to be raised quite a bit due to loss of my original padding, and they flipped the stem to raise the bars to go with the new seat height.
