Hey Gang,
I’m buying a new Cervelo bike in the next month. I want to purchase it from a bike shop that does a great bike fittings.
So far I have on my list…
Cyclesports in Park Ridge, NJ (20 minutes from me)
Strictly Bicycles in Fort Lee, NJ (45 minutes from me)
Please share your recommendations and any feedback.
Thanks!
Eric
Best fitters in N.J. are in Philly :0)
From what I heard, Strictly does not do a good fit job.
Since your near the GWB, there are a few places in the city that are good or drive up to Toga in Nyack, they do a good job.
Depending on how far you are willing to drive, Todd Kenyon at TT Bike Fit in Rhode Island is outstanding.
Honest advice … I was you. I sat on a couple bikes, thought I knew what was right. Then bought a P2 at a LBS who did a bad job fitting me. A month after that I was miserable riding. I went back to original shop, same results.
Best thing I did was drive to Brooklyn and visit Acme Bikes. Jonathan is a really down to earth guy who is really professional and a great athlete. He spent over 3 hours with me on an ill fitting Cervelo and he somehow made it work great for me with a lot of adjustments. I just wish I went to him first before buying. His fit service started by a physical exam, then flexibility, then on his fit bike, We dialed in a very good position for me that I was super comfortable in which was much more aggressive than my old position. Finally he dialed in my existing bike.
I’m sure he can fit you on his fit bike then tell you the ideal frame for your body type and budget, then dial you in

Not sure where you are, but John Strom at Cyclefitters in Easton, PA (close to NJ border) is EXCELLENT. I used him and sent my husband and 3 other friends there – everyone has been thrilled. He has been doing it a long time and knows his stuff. I am biking faster than ever, due in part to my great fit. I cannot recommend him enough. For reference, I have had 3-5 professional fits done (depending on what you count) in 20 years of racing.
I used Dan Mayer - dmayer@exceltherapy.com, he’s works out of Excel Physical Therapy in Oakland NJ - I’m happy with my fit.
Just FYI, Cyclesport does not carry Cervelo’s to my knowledge if that is what you decided you want. They may be able to special order anything but it won’t be in their shop. As far as fitting goes, they are great and the staff is really helpful as well. You will get top notch customer service.
Eric , high gear cyclery in sterling, nj. They also sell cervelo and trek. I think specialized too.
Thank you everyone for the responses.
FYI, I am in North NJ.
A couple of the recomendations are a bit farther then I would like to travel. If I need a tune up or bike issue, I would prefer to be a little closer to home.
Cyclesports does not sell Cervelo 
Anyone else have some thoughts?
I’ve developed a relationship with the guys over at Sid’s Bikes on West 19th St.
Mike has really helped me out with my fit on both my bikes, one was which was assembled by them and one that I got from elsewhere.
They do sell Cervelo’s as well.
He’s in pretty much everyday except for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Ridgewood Cycles sell Cervelo - I’ve neard mixed reviews on their fitting capability though…
Toga! in Nyack gets good write-ups and isn’t too far over the border up 9W
Joyful Cycles in Edison, NJ does Retul fits. Adolfo did a great job on both my road and Tri bikes. The shop is not far from Exit 10 on NJ turnpike.
Eric , high gear cyclery in sterling, nj. They also sell cervelo and trek. I think specialized too.
x2 - Eric is awesome! Fit three of my bikes - one of which was a P2 - he’s my “go to” guy!
Easy:
Option #1: Eric at high gear in stirling
2: signature cycles in NYC, see Blake
3: email me for a personal contact that will be the best fit ever.
You don’t have to get fit where you buy the bike. Fit is too important to get it wrong.
Glad to see no one has recommended it here but dont go to Fit-werx NJ. Bad experience with them and a fit.

That’s a *little *more accurate

My bike shop is Harts Bikes in Pennington, on Rt 31 close to Princeton. Ross Hart is the owner and he is a Cervelo dealer and they always have a few in stock. Take a look at their website including their “fitting” page. Besides being my shop, many local triathletes use them. If you decide to check them out, tell Ross (or Oscar, his #2), Michael recommended and he’ll take care of you. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.
OK, who’s the best in Philly? I’m looking for a new bike.

If you can find this guy Dave Greenfield he is the best.
Where is he now ? I have no idea??? But if you find him you have caught the proverbial unicorn of the fitting world
