Is there anywhere close(ish) to Southampton that people would recommend for a bike fit?

Many thanks :)

    The other end of Hampshire - Pedal Heaven in Fleet have a full Specialized body fit studio with video capture etc.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Marginally closer - Cycleworks in Petersfield. Specialised BG fit again, although they didn't have video capture as of two years ago.

    +1 for Vankru. Garth is a really nice guy and offers a very detailed service. I only had the Premium Bike Fit, which is a bit cheaper than the full Retul fit, but it was very good. I'd definitely recommend it.

    I've had great service at GA Cycles in Shirley:

    They corrected some things that were wrong from a previous bike fit somewhere else.

    Thanks for all the suggestions, Vankru is about half a mile from where I work so that looks ideal :)

    I've never been to GA cycles which is also a mile down the road from work so I might pop in for a look.

    Just booked myslef into Vankru as well!
    My biggest fear is that should I crash, burn and die, my Wife would sell my stuff based upon what I told her I paid for it.

    Another +1 for Garth at Vankru. I had the full Retul fit and it was well worth it. Garth is a really nice guy.

    Hargroves in Southampton now have a full video capture Bike Fit service. I think it's in the Totton branch. A mate has just picked up his Stevens with full Di2 and went through the whole process and is very pleased with the results.

    Sounds like you're sorted now, but would highly recommend David at Wyndy Milla. Top notch service.

    I had one about 6 weeks ago at Rock N Road in Southampton and would class it as excellent.

    James spent over three hours fine tuning everything on a jig.

    It does sound like you are sorted but PM me if you want any more details.

    Plenty of Southampton folks on here! We should sort a ride...

    Thought I'd report back.

    I went to see Garth at Vankru and it was a great experience - I won't bore you with the details but I am a very happy customer who now knows a whole load more about bikes and fitting and have fallen in love with my bike again which a is really nice feeling.

    So, a definite massive thumbs up and I'd heartily recommend it to anyone - it's much better value than some new wheels!
