Hello fellow slowtwitchers,
I finally decided it was time to get a bike fitting done by a professional, and I wanted to hear if anyone has had experience with fitters listed on this website? I'm currently in Frankfurt (am Main) and see that there are two bike fitters not too far away: Holger Roethig in Essen (2.5-3 hour drive) and Lloyd Thomas in Bensheim (ca. 45 minute drive).
To complicate matters, there is a fitter in Bad Vilbel (which is right around the corner) who has been around for about 4-5 years now: Bike Rite. I visited Bike Rite about 3 years ago, and the conversation I had with the person there at the time did not inspire confidence. Perhaps he was having a bad day, or I simply spoke to the wrong person--I don't know. But given the fact that the company has survived this long in an admittedly triathlon-crazed (well, endurance sports in general) place like this, it would seem that my first impression might indeed have been misleading.
While it would be great not to have to travel 3+ hours, in the end I want a quality fitting from a well-trained person. So, does anyone have experience with these or another fitter in the region?
Thanks again for your time!
P.S. Quite a number of the fitters under the heading "European Fitters" are mistakenly listed as being in Germany.
