Subject: RE: Bike shops near Chicago/ Western Suburbs julio26pt2 - 2013-02-22 2:28 PM So, based on MJ's and Nicole's rave reviews, I've booked an appointment with Bernie next weekend to get my bike set right. Thanks for the recommendation! Just wanted to share my experience today with Bernie. Absolutely fantastic! He spent about 3 hours today no only working on measurements, but teaching me a lot about bike geometry and sharing general advice. Tried as we did, my bike is just too small and is why I've never been able to get comfortable on it. So after a while we switched to the machine where we found all of my dimensions and ideal fit and backed-into the brand/model that would fit me the best (there's a technical term for all of that, I'm sure....I just don't know it). He is genuinely passionate about what he does and I appreciate the recommendation. Once I get the new bike and have some saddle time, I'm going to go back to get it set up. I wish I had done a fitting like this years ago. Once we got the fitting-machine (no idea what it's called) set to the proper measurements, it was a night-and-day difference in comfort. Anyway, just wanted to give the plug and share the experience. Edited by julio26pt2 2013-03-03 5:08 PM
