With the help of Bike Fitting, you’ll be able to find the right fit for your frame size, style of riding, and your particular dimensions. Here ya’ go…..the location for everything fit related.

Yep, having the opportunity to test ride two sizes during several days is great. Well, I had to buy them both at first but it was the best way to make a choice. It's tricky for a beginner like me but I really appreciated the process.
