+1 for Epic - look no futher. I paid £50 for a two hour session, which they refund if you buy a frame or bike from them (doesn't have to be the same day, I was given a receipt to use even if next year).

Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

I also got my bike and fitting at Epic. Splendid service. Never felt hurried and no hard sell.

If you travel by TomTom be prepared for a very scenic drive down some narrow, windy lanes!

I think that's about as good a recommendation as you are giong to get!! Very Happy Very Happy

If 2 posters - 1 from Norfolk and 1 from Suffolk - were prepared to travel that distance and then totally sing their praises, then that should re-assure you.

Never had a bike fitting done there, but whenever I have been in, they are always prepared to spend time with you and offer advice - even though I didn't buy anything Embarassed

They probably have the best range of road bikes on display in any bike shp I have ever been in - and that is quite a few - in the most picturesque setting with loads of free parking.

I made a trip from Buckinghamshire to Epic to buy my bike and it was worth every penny.

I must have got through my own weight in coffee it took me that long to make up my mind after so many test rides.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES; NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS
