I just wanted to say that the fit on my bike felt great in today's race (USAT Duathlon Nationals) in hilly Oro Valley, Az. I got strep throat this week and participating was up in the air. I got 8th in my age group (30-34) and qualified for Team USA for the Age Group World Championships in Nancy, France in September. I've only ridden indoors this year and this race was my first outdoor ride, but the fit felt awesome. I was able to put out more power with zero back pain on a hilly and hot course. This was my first duathlon and just wanted to say thanks for the awesome fit!

Hey Guys, I just had to say thank you one more time. Your help, understanding and professionalism was outstanding today and went well above and beyond what I ever expected. It really was a pleasure doing business with you all today and I will most definitely be back to your shops as well as referring as many of my friends as is possible. Again, a most sincere thank you!

Hi Adam,
Thank you for the email to inquire about the new Serotta. To quote you, "I was blown away by the Meivici". You were absolutely right in many areas. First, the carbon fiber is very forgiving in terms of road shock yet still a very solid and firm ride. Second, the bike climbs much better as it is nimble and transfers power extemely well. Finally and most important of all, the fit is PERFECT. The best have ever felt on a bike in over 25 years of cycling. Your talent and expertise as a master fitter was evident in how you were able to tweak my fit on old bike and how you precisely measured and fit me on the new Serotta. Feels more effective to be over the pedals more and am much less cramped. Also, no longer squirming in the saddle trying to be comfortable. Adam, I sincerely appreciate all you time, effort and patience. LOVE THE NEW BIKE and thank you for doing a great job with paint scheme.
Have and will continue to give you my highest recommendation for bike fit and bike maintenance.

Gentlemen
I have wear on the tires and dust on the frame. It just felt perfect. Aggressive where I want it, stable when its necessary. The disadvantages of this light 29” are pretty minimal, compared with my super nimble Rocky Mountain. The advantages on the other hand are clear. On those big wheels it’s like all obstacles have decreased in height overnight.
You were right, that 62 cm top tube fits perfectly. Pressure on my hands and wrists is significantly lower. The bike is so outrageously cool looking. And the built couldn’t have been better.
Thanks a million for your perseverance in this long process. It was worth the wait, definitely.

Adam: Thanks again for all of your help the other day. The fitting session went even better than I thought it would. I was able to use your notes to dial in my road bike with no problems. The crank arms were the right length, as was the top tube, and all the measurements were easy to calibrate. But here's the question: Did it make a difference on my century ride today? Ummm, wow! I feel like a whole new biker. I was easily keeping pace with groups that would have previously dropped me like a rock, and completed my first sub-five hour century. What amazed me is how fresh I felt at four hours. I would never have guessed that a fit could make that much of difference. You can definitely add me to the long list of people who think you guys do a terrific job. Thanks again, Joe Studer

Adam - finished the 100km route of D2R2 yesterday ahead of the rain. Wanted to share this, but I don't have others' addresses at GaG with me now. Thanks to you and the shop with the help with the bike etc. The ride was a lot of fun despite being absolutely insane

I bought my Cannondale hybrid from Get a Grip in 2009. It is my first bike since the eighties so you could say I represent the novice cyclist demographic.
When I shopped, the salesperson understood my position and didn't act offended by my $500-600 price range. I may have spent more here than I could have elsewhere but I felt comfortable knowing I was dealing with knowledgeable people.
Since purchasing, I've needed some heavily customization and more than a little maintenance (new wheels after multiple broken spokes, special tires, broken handlebar, collapsing seat post, etc). I wouldn't think of bringing my bike anywhere else.
I even bought most of my bike accessories (lights, helmet, bike computer, cages, shorts) at Get a Grip. Again, prices may be at a slight premium but they're not unfairly high. I trust their expert staff and I'm sure those margins are used to pay those experts well.

Hi Adam,
A special thank you for the great fit on the old Serotta for Jeanie. She said she was in heaven on the new ride and just loves it. Great job with dialing in her position and making the current bars work. Very good call on the light action pedals and loves sadddle, too.
Thanks for having your Meivici at the shop as it was very helpful to see the color scheme as well as the wheels. Once again, thank you for being a top notch bike fitter and mechanic.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the note, things got off to a slow start with a cool and wet spring but I absolutely love my new Seven. I have been in Door County riding all the farm roads. I am amazed at how smooth it rides and how effortless it is going from 0 to 20, even with all the hills up here. Thanks again for the great care you gave me.

Hi Guys –
Just a quick note to let you know how pleased I am with my new Serotta CDA. I was hesitant to spend that much, but I’m glad I did. The frame is a work of art, and the fit is spot-on (thanks, Ken!). A true joy to ride. The handling is superb, it seems to be much more responsive than my Trek and way more comfortable on the bumpy country roads I frequent. I look forward to many years of enjoyment. Attached is a pic of the complete bike with the American Classic wheels. She’s a beauty!
