Looking for a bike fit recommendation

[Kevin Williams]

Hi everyone,

I feel like I could post a new topic here everyday with all the questions bouncing around in my head. I promise I won't do that, though!

Anyway, based on the responses from my last post asking about saddles and shoes, one of the main suggestions (among many other great suggestions), was to ensure a proper bike fit. While I have gone to see a professional bike fitter, I feel like he was more geared towards racing / gravel / MTB. He did the best he could with his tools and skill set, but I have a feeling he hasn't done many (if any) fits suitable for long distance / randonneuring.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or recommendations for a bike fitter who is knowledgeable and experienced in fitting bikes to our types of riding? I live in Sacramento but would gladly travel (within reason) for quality service.

As always, I greatly appreciate all your input and advice. Thanks so much!

Hi Kevin,

You can also search the list archives. This question has been asked a few times since I've been on the list. You might find some good answers there. There's a link in the message footers.

Good luck!

Eric

Tony Tom at Bicycle Odyssey in Sausalito will get you in the correct neutral position most comfortable for Rando and help you understand changes to make to be more or less aggressive. Super knowledgeable, old-school, great shop and staff and a really nice guy!
