the cyclefit testing protocol

It may seem a bit wierd us testing our own bikes? But bear with us there is a bit of logic.
Before CycleFit (and a bit during) Jules and Phil both moonlighted as journalists specialising in bike/product testing - they were particularly known for their technical apprach to the subject. They wrote for several of the big European journals, culminating in testers-in residence for CycleSport Magazine for a couple years.
Then add in Warrick's lost New Zealand years as a Junior International riding against a brash youth called Lance Armstrong. Warrick is in a class of one in terms of his potential to tie a race-bike in knots on the edge of what is possible. He is one of the most respected riders in the
Elite criterium peloton and known to be the fastest man around a corner in the UK? And factor in also Kimberly's encylopaedic and forensic cycling brain and you have a few decades of useful experience between the four of them. Jules and Phil also design all of the custom serotta and Guru frames as well as CycleFit's own Glider range. These tests don't pretend to be entirely impartial as Serotta, Guru and Colnago are all deliberate brand choices for CycleFit for good reason. But where things could be better or different they are pointed out.
We are interested to get your comments, insights and own experiences - please post on the CycleFit Forum or email us on info@cyclefit.co.uk
We are about to start testing bikes from other manufacturers - please let us know if there is a bike that you would particularly like to be reviewed?
