    This place seems to get a lot of positive feedback on boards.ie

    http://www.irishfit.eu/bikesetup.html and the price look great too - 80 Euro.

    Not used it myself as I went to England after 2 sh1t fittings in the North however I didn't know about this place then however I'm very happy with my fitting. I've been injury free for a year now - something that I never had been over the last few years where I could barely go more than 3 months without time off the bike through injury.

    You certainly can. I went to Bespoke Cycling in London. I flew into Stansted and then straight onto a train at the airport to Liverpool Street Station and it's only about a mile from there. Liverpool Street Station has a luggage hold where you can stick your bag so you can build your bike up at the train station, dump the bag and then cycle over for the fitting or you get taxi over or even walk it. It isn't cheap especially when you factor in the cost of travel however if works, like it did for me, then it is worth every penny.
