No joy on the road forum so am trying here: has anyone used these guys? I am thinking of using them for a bike fitting session and they are handily local to me in SE London.

Not used them but would be interested in finding out what it's like if you go along.0

Will do, although I want to get at least one piece of independent feedback on them - testimonials on a companys own website mean jack s**t to me. So far nobody seems to have used them, although I can always phone up or drop by for a chat and see what sort of feedback I get."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

yeah but a fitting will take the whole evening anyway, popping in for parts and stuff is one thing. go somewhere where you can get reliable reviews for.BMC TM01 - FCN 0

Ah had a look now the net nazi's at work let me on the club website. Unfortunately I don't know anyone you'll be riding with, it's the one downside of a forum based club, there's always loads of people you've never met.pain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................

It's the first main experiment on Monday, can't remember if it's the dehydrated test or nor, but I'm sure to be a mess either way. I'll keep my eye out for youpain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................
