Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

WHo is a good bike fitter in the Ft Worth Tx area?

I need to get my wife fitted pretty bad. Hopefully before the weekend or on Saturday. I already tried Performance Bike, as you can tell it did no good. She isnt comfortable at all. I was going to just buy another saddle, but was told she might need another fitting on the bike. Thanks for any help.

Colonel's on University is the shop I prefer: https://www.colonelsbikes.com/. Right across from TCU. For fitting, I would say talk to Rick (I'm pretty sure that's his name).

I know people who use Bicycle's Inc and are happy: https://bicyclesinc.com/ . They are at Granbury and 20.

There's one on Cherry between Camp Bowie and 30 -- Fort Worth Cycle Sport maybe? I see a lot of bike sourced from there, but know little about it. Ah, here it is: https://fwcycling.com/ .

That should get you started. My favorite is Colonel's but I also happen to work across the street from it.

I rode a couple times with some guys at B&B (one of the owner's sons?) a couple years ago in some training rides prior to the MS150 in 2006 and they were always willing to share some knowledge and would wait for my friend and I as we brought up the rear. I'm just glad I never joined them on their ride to "The Wall". Apparently it's a crazy steep hill. Although now that I live in Northern Calif there are crazy steep hills everywhere!

My friend's cousin Ruben invited us to a group ride there and we had a really good time and a good workout! They certainly are really cool and I'd trust them fully.

you may also want to post your question in the Texas forum in the Regional Section.

Bike's inc, is ass, IMO. Slow, unorganized, and the wrench in the Arlington location is a pothead. They were a week shipping a bike I'd already packed up nearly 100% myself, and the last time I let them do maintenance on my rear derailleur, they didn't set the stops right and I ended up getting my chain wraped around my rear wheel. I guess I should thank them for forcing me to do my own maintenance now.

Though B&B sounds great - I'll have to check them out very soon.
