Bicycle Fitting, Sizing and Test Rides

Bicycle Fittings for customers purchasing a touring bicycle from Topanga Creek Bicycles

Finding the right size touring frame requires a test ride, a proper fitting and an interview. We measure your legs, arms, torso, hands, feet, shoulders and thighs prior to preparing a bicycle for you. Most people are proportionately different and have a wide variety of experiences that lead them to purchasing their next bike and each bicycle should be different. We patiently prepare each bicycle to the specifics of the individual.

Mountain bike sizing

Upon request, we can perform a full bicycle fitting using industry-leading professional system the Fit Kit to determine optimal bike geometry and size. Because of the various frame designs, suspension designs, head tube angles, wheel sizes, and fork designs, sizing on mountain bikes can also be dictated by personal preferences and riding style. We encourage customers to demo a handful of mountain bikes from the shop to make final purchasing decision.
