Bike fitting question (1)

i’m sure this is a question that has been thrown out befor, and please be kind…i’ve just taken up biking in the past two years.

if i’m looking to get a tri bike, would it make sence to get fitted first, or buy the frame size that i know would be close and then get everything adjusted to fit?

any help would be greatly appriciated.

thanks in advance.

Get fitted first. That will help you determine what size you need.

Hi,

Get fitted first, preferrably by a FIST certified fitting center.

Do you really want to get a $1500-6000 bike and have to make it work.

Working with an experienced tri fitter will get you very, very close, with only a bit of tweaking after the fact. Whereas going in and trying to get close by yourself will probably involve alot of trial and error along the way.

Have fun

I just returned from All3sports and had my bike fitted that I am getting for christmas. Took 4 hours to drive there, but what the hell it was only 4 to get back home after it. But, boy am I excited about christmas.
