Fit Kit

The Waterford Fit cycle at Trophy has been a godsend. Rather than going to my SketchUp drawing to figure out all of the jig dimensions, I can quite easily measure out all of the salient measurements from the Fit Cycle. Pretty cool.

We re-worked the geometry dimensions that I came up with after our initial fitting just like the pros do. Megan was an ideal client in that she bought beer for the fitting and said, "I'm open to whatever." That's always nice, though it does put a bit more pressure on me to get things right!

Right now I'm waiting for some pieces from Edge Composites out in Utah. They make a very attractive carbon chainstay kit that I'm hoping will couple with the oversized headtube and downtube to make for a stiff bike. I can rely on the bamboo's natural damping abilities to smooth out the road buzz a bit. I have really liked dealing with Edge; they're among the top composites manufacturers in the industry but still have the small shop sort of customer service.

I'll post the geometry and design specs soon.
