As always it is highly recommended to set up a personal fit before you finalize a purchase - especially on a Triathlon/TT Bike.  We can retrofit any bike to fit you but it is always best to purchase the correct bike for you from the beginning.  Tom is a very experienced bicycle fitter and has been doing custom fittings since 1988. He has attended fitting classes such as Dan Empfield's Slowtwitch, the Serotta Elements Program, and the Specialized BG Fit School.

For more information on the Specialized Transition send us an e-mail, give us a call, or stop by the shop.  Fits are on a scheduled only basis so set that up beforehand so you can shop for the bike made for you!
