Anyone know of anywhere that will fit you for your bike around Meath? I'm in the Navan area.

Cheers.

But did he fit you properly?

I recently got a fitting done in Ritchies (Swords), extremely thorough, took over 2 hours. Still haven't purchased my new bike but that's my fault for procrastinating too much

Just ask for Frank, he's top notch at what he does.

No problems, been in before.
Just wasn't sure if you meant you just bought stuff from him or you actually got the proper bike fitting. I'm talking about something like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAl_5e7bIHk

As in you didn't meet him or would advise not to ask for him??

Couldn't recommend him highly enough. He's thorough, and knows what he's at. I got one bike fitted, and will be going back with the rest of the stable shortly.

So I got this done a few weeks ago, thought I'd update this thread.
Agree with everything above regarding Frank - sound bloke, made some adjustments that are already starting to pay off.

Go to Cyclize on flower hill, Mick is dead sound and is in bike game for donkeys years, any time I went to your man beside the fair green he just tried to sell me whatever was on the floor irrespective of what size the bike or I was..

Edit: And he always asks how much you have to spend and rarely has a price on the bikes..

Wasn't aware of that.
Proper job? As accurate as what people described here from Frank in Swords?

Well good Mick was a mechanic on the ros for years not sure if he still is (think his brother won it), what he doesn't know about bikes you don't need to know..
