One of my Ironman-distance clients went to see Elite on Monday. This is what he day to say:

“Thanks for recommending Elite. I arrived at 1:45 and left at 8:15. Elite fitted both bikes for me and according to David, they really needed it. I had just had both bikes fit but he saw major errors.”

I continue to be impressed by the amount of time Dave Greenfield and staff spend with every client.

Cheers,
David

Getting a proper bike fit is something I’ve wanted to do for 2 years. Glover recommended I schedule a fit with Dave Greenfield at Elite Bicycles. The appeal to make the trip to Philly to visit Elite was two-fold: (1) David had been through the process himself and spoke highly of the Elite crew and their attention to 110% quality, and (2) just visit the slowtwitch.com forum and search on “Elite Bikes” or “Greenfield” and see if you can find one negative comment. However, this appointment would require a full day off of work, and 5.5 hours of driving; a long day to say the least. Was it worth it?

It was well worth it. Like David, my fit lasted close to 7 hours. It began with a lot of testing: strength, balance, flexibility, improper alignment. I finally climbed on my completely overhauled bike (thanks to Richie) and began the adjustment process. It started with the feet, making subtle changes to my cleat position, adding inserts to my cycling shoes along with shimmies near the toe box. After dialing in the saddle position, and leg angles relative to the bottom bracket, we finally moved to the front-end where Dave G. and Richie “crafted” a make shift riser kit for my aerobar pads. The experience was fun, educational, and worth every dollar.

[...] The purpose of Bill’s bike fit was to set him up for ultimate comfort and speed. Like my bike fit with with Elite Bicycles a little over a week ago, Bill’s Elite fit also took about 7 hours from start to finish, although Elite did fit him for both a new road bike and tri bike. The beginning of the training season in January is an excellent time to do a bike fit because training volume is low and there is ample time for the body to adapt to the new position. For an idea of the comprehensive process Bill went through, you can read about my similar fit on my blog. [...]
