Retul Bike Fit Question

If you are honest about your comfort in the positions, and there is some sort of power measurement going on, your retul fit should produce reliable stack and reach coordinates, from which you can shop for whatever bike lines up with those. Should have little to do with the shop's brands.

honestly any reputable retul fitter in your area will have most likely done 100's of fits and people on it and a little research will show you that so that should help calm the nerves a bit. I was in contact with two different ones during my decision process talked to them both about my goals etc and decided which way to go.

I had ZERO issues with them telling me what bike to get from there store however I was set on a brand they carried if it fit. My fitters plan was to get me into the most aero, comfortable, powerful position that I could obtain at that time and give me the measurements for the bike database.

He walked me through the database showing me what would fit from every brand including about 5 they did not and would not carry. I could have left with all of that information and gone and bought a bike in that size anywhere.

I was given a big report including pictures and all of the information from the day after and its a great tool if I ever plan to buy another bike. I was really concerned about wanting to get more aggressive in the future and he also took this into account when helping to choose a size and bike. I went back about 45 days after the retul and bike fit for a check up and basically had nothing to change I was more than comfortable and happy with the fit and still am. However, with the cost associated in the fit it seems that at least my fitter was willing to do just about anything to make me happy.

Also on price search around a bit I found that my fitter refunded 200 of the 350$ if I bought a bike from them. I told them the bike I wanted was 300$ cheaper at another store they matched it and refunded the 200$

I had a retul bike fit done this spring and was very impressed. This bike fitter does not work out of any store and sells no bikes or products. He told me what bikes were my best options and did not care if I bought it from the Internet or a bike shop. After buying the bike, I returned and had it dialed in. I was quite impressed with the process.
