The final chapter from my Cyclefit experience. Not having the funds to pay for a bespoke frame Jimmy at Cyclefit recommended a COTIC Escapade 2015 frame in small. I found one at the back of COTIC's warehouse - well Cy did - and I've taken delivery. In single speed setup. This morning I had it checked and tweaked by Jimmy at Cyclefit again and we replaced the stem with shorter and the seat post with a straight rather than laid back item. I climbed on board and it did feel - well - it felt like a glove - not an old one - I suspect that will come with the miles - but everything was at hand. I sat on it and the bars were exactly in the right place. My head is up. Chest up. Pelvis tilted forward slightly. Arms relaxed. I cant wait to experience the effect long term but...for now...huge thanks to the guys at Cyclefit in London who earned their fee and really made me welcome. Special thanks to Jimmy for being patient and listening to me blether on. Worth every penny.
