I wanted to let everyone know that the 51-Speedshop.com web store is open. We’ve worked very hard over the last two years to make this happen. This is a very exciting, yet challenging venture to undertake.
A bit of my background and the mission behind 51 Speedshop...
I’ve been a lifelong student of human movement, whatever the sport. I’ve always been interested in orthodoxy (something Dan talks about often). It wasn’t until I moved to Boulder, Colorado 11 years ago, that I considered making this passion my profession. I had an eye for bike fit and proper positioning before I ever understood protocol or process. I learned much of the fundamentals of bike fit by attending FIST clinics and my years working at Retul. I’ve been a practicing commercial bike fitter for the past 10 years.
I started 51 Speedshop because through my experience as a fitter, I saw opportunity in the space between product and rider performance. I sought out engineers and manufacturers passionate about high performance cycling with proven industry records within innovative high-quality product to join me.
With over two decades of experience in the study of human performance in both education and application, we have a deep understanding of rider-equipment interface and the opportunity of bicycle contact points in supporting a seamless connection between bicycle and body. Together, we are bringing to fruition best in class product to improve rider performance and experience through a focus on comfort, positioning, and aerodynamics.
We have several other products in the manufacturing phase and they should be available sometime later this summer. We will strive to be "open books" about our product design inputs and answer any questions you might have.
