I want to get a new bike and would like to get a bike fit to find the right bike for me. Any recommendations for London?
Thanks

Sigma, bespoke in jermyn street or cyclefit
I’ve had two fittings at cyclefit and was in bespoke yesterday
Both are / seem good. I believe cyclefit were / are trek factory racing’s fit team so were at start of tdf last year
One of their fitters moved from sigma to them a year or two ago
Sigma Sport in Kingston (South West London) or Bespoke in either Central London, Farringdon or Canary Wharf branch. Both are very good and price wise similiar. All depends really what is closer to you! Have you used both for fittings and was happy with both!
Bespoke.
Thanks everyone!
Ten-Point in Chesham Bois, Amersham have two fitters that are both FIST advanced certified, if you were willing to travel outside the M25. They use the Guru fit bike and provide a bike finder service.
Thanks Knighty76. I live in Kent & travel towards heathrow via central london for work everyday. I can drive outside M25 if the service is good. I will consider Ten-point as an option.
I can recommend Swift cycles - they are all triathletes there too for the most part as opposed to pure cyclists.
+1 for TenPoint. Give them a call, ask for Brian and have a chat with him before you decide. Slowman went there this year and held the first ever FIST class on Euro soil at TenPoint which speaks to their level of fit service.

I’m glad they worked for you but I actually could not recommend Swift, alas.

I’m intruiged?
I’ve had a few fits from Bespoke and Ben Hallam is great. They have a few locations across London - Green Park, Picadilly, Farringdon, and Canary Wharf. I had a Fit from Sigma awhile ago when they were using BG Fit and I believe they’ve moved to Retul. They are a great shop as well.
I had road and tri fits at le Beau Velo by Jo McRae and Mal Pires and am very happy with the results.

Keep in mind that fit systems per se are worthless, fitters are valuable. The further away from average your physiology is, the most important the fitters are.
