Bike fits in the North East
Hi all,
I've been thinking about getting a bike fit for a while and was wondering if anyone knew of, or could recommend any places that do them in the North East. I'm in Durham with no access to a car so ideally it would be somewhere within cycling range or accessible by train etc.
Google has found me Bike Science in Darlington offering a Retul fit. Anyone have any experience of there or anywhere else?
Thanks in advance!

I used David Eardley at Peacocks opposite Haymarket in Newcastle. Don't think he uses retul but well worth the money IMO.
Bike fit perfectly after the session and got rid of the back pain I was getting.
There are a couple of options in Newcastle. M Steels in Gosforth (just up from the South Gosforth Metro) do the Specialized fit. Dave's the man there -- top bloke. There's also a Retul fit bloke who's recently opened shop in Jesmond (West Jesmond Metro's probably nearest). He has a good reputation from what I hear.
