I had a road bike fit with David Coar at Summit City Bicycles in Fort Wayne.  He did a good job, and even tweaked my fit once I got outside to ride.  I did my fit in January.  He checked me again around March/April.

I have heard good things about Summit City bike in Fort Wayne also. I would also give The Pelton Center in Fort Wayne a call. They are inside Speice Fieldhouse. They have a new fitting program in there that I can't remember the name of that is supposed to be very good.

I was fit for my tri bike by Pete at Spin Zone in Granger. He did an awesome job.

I have purchased bikes from both Spin Zone and Summit, and found Spin Zone to be much more knowledgeable about Tri bikes and the position you want for triathlons.

I like in Warsaw, so I know Spin Zone is a little further away.....

x5 on David at Summit City. Had him fit me when I bought my tri bike in Nov then he fit me again when the weather got better. He also fit me before a ride across the USA last year. It was really helpful that he determined I have a weird gait which has helped with my run. He really knows bike fits.

Summit City in Fort Wayne.

I just wanted to update from my post above, the Peloton Center in Fort Wayne uses the Retul fitting program. I don't know much about it, but from what I've heard it's supposed to be pretty good. When I get fitted I'm going to talk to them all to see who I like.

If you are willing to travel a bit, I would have Jeff Frame at Ball State do your fit.  It was the best fit I have ever had.  He knows his stuff and has nothing to sell you.

I am somewhat disappointed with Summit because they would not give me my fit specs/results.  I paid them over $400 by the time I was finished buying stuff and paying for the fit.  They should give me the measurements so if I take my bike apart, crash, etc.  I can re-set it.

If you want a no nonsense and inexpensive fit try RediBike in Fort Wayne.  If you are on the market for a state of the art fit try Peleton (also Fort).
