Bike fitting - best places?

Posts: 66
I got my road bike last weekend, a Triban from Decathlon. The guy there didn't really seem to interested in getting it fit for me, just basically wanted to adjust saddle height and nothing else.
As such although it feels comfortable enough at the moment, I'm not 100% confident that as I increase my distance I am going to stay comfortable.
I'm looking to get some sort of professional fit, and appreciate it can be costly but trying to keep the costs low.
I'm looking for somewhere near Sutton in Surrey, Pearsons does do it but it's about £120...!!!
Any info appreciated.

Bike fits are going to cost that kind of money. Is there a club in your area you could join, then see if one of the more experienced members can help?WyndyMilla Massive Attack | Rourke 953 | Condor Italia 531 Pro | Boardman CX Pro | DT Swiss RR440 Tubeless Wheels

Adrian Timmis, Cadence Sport, is well regarded. He is not in your area but he does offer:Remote bike position analysis £40
This is not an online bike fit, a bike fit is still far better getting done 1 to 1 with an experienced fitter, but this is an online video analysis of what I think maybe right or wrong with your position and bike set up. I will give advice on how far out you may be (or how spot on you are!), any equipment changes and set up that may help.
People will be required to take short video clips of them riding a turbo, with side, front and rear views, also of the bike without the rider on it, using either an iPad, iPhone, iTouch or similar. You can use this free app to record an upload clips http://www.ubersense.com

+1 on Adrain Timmis (Cadence Sport). £150 + for the full bike fit (included footbeds though).
Barton under Needwood (nr Burton on Trent).
He really is good.
If you go to somehwere and they charge say £80 but are no good then it is false economy.Yellow is the new Black.0
