Hello All,
On Wednesday I am going to see Chas Roberts for a fitting. My plan is to have Roberts build the frame, I will source the components and pay Roberts to build the bike.
At the moment I use an old Giant beater for my 18 mile (round-trip) daily commute. My aim is to get a really efficient perfectly fitting bike so that a 25-30 mile daily round-trip will be practical, not sure I could manage this on my current bike.
Any advice on how I should handle this would be greatly appreciated. Would you leave it all to Roberts knowing you can rely on his expertise? Or would you consider a fitting from somewhere like Cyclelabs as a second opinion to take into account?
This is the first time I have ordered a custom built frame, any ideas on what the really important decisions are would be great. I'm hoping this will be my most treasured possession and I don't want to cock it up.
A big Thank You to anyone who takes the time to respond.
All the best.
