Custom Pays Off - I just wanted to let you know that the new bike (CXII Ti) is awesome.  Thank you for all of your help!  … It really is amazing to ride a bike that was designed specific to my body.  I tell everyone it is like sitting in a rocking chair.    Shane, MA

Better Fit = Better Back - Thank you.  We rode a couple of times outside before it snowed again and all the changes helped, my back felt much better.   Billy, NY

Long Early Season Rides - I had a chance to dial in my other road bike and spent 5 hrs in the saddle by the time the weekend was out.  I highly doubt I would have been able to do this so early in the season if I had not come to see you!  I felt little in the way of discomfort during the ride or in adjusting to the fit.  No numbness in my hands, little to no hip discomfort, strong and balanced power distribution to the pedals, and good energy considering the time of year.  The positioning and tweaks to my cleats along with the footbeds have been monumental.  These two things alone were well worth the effort!  Scott, VT

Simply Faster - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.  (My new Legend ST is the…) first time in my life I was comfortable in the TT position.  I covered 20 miles in 55 minutes.  I did the same course in an 1:03 a couple of weeks ago… It was really, really great.   Thanks again for your help.  J ason, KS

Crono Looks Fast and Goes Fast - Great to see you guys, as always we had a blast hanging out at the shop (in VT) and getting caught up with you guys (sorry we milled around for so long but we always have so much fun there....). Man you really nailed the frame design.  I obviously went custom so the frame would enable me to achieve proper positioning but to be honest the aesthetic look/profile of the bike was also important....and the dimensions you put together are perfect....it looks fantastic!! Thanks again. The process and attention to detail were fantastic and the bike is just beautiful...   Jay, MA

Perfect - My Serotta Fierte IT is…Perfect! Went for my first ride today (beginning base building) and the bike is a dream! smooth, responsive, quiet and makes me proud!   I am so happy. More riding this week, I hope.  Thank you both.  Susan, PA

Long Term - First off, just wanted to say again how happy I am with my bike. Two years and two ironmans later I can say it’s been nothing but comfortable and fast over the miles. More importantly, I still love to ride it so my thanks for that.   Leigh, NH

Footbeds and Shoes - I tried my new Rocket7 shoes today on my trainer. The fit is great. No numbness at all in my toes. Of course, the real test will come when I try them outside, but I am quite confident that my fitting problems are solved! The main difference with my other shoes is that I feel no pressure at all on the outer part of the foot.   (It) must be a combination of the wider toe box and custom foot bed. I also notice that my right knee seems to be better aligned. It used to wobble a few millimetres on each pedal stroke. Now it falls straight, just like my left knee.   Can't wait to try them outside. Seems like it was worth the drive to Waitsfield!  I will certainly recomment your services to my teamates!  Dominique, Montreal

All Good - I rode my new Serotta bike today and loved the ride and especially the fit - frame, aero bars, pedals, and seat are awesome...!  And the Sidi bike shoes/foot beds fit great too.  Thanks.  Mark, MA

AG Winner - The fit you gave me in the fall worked great.  I won my AG(45-49) at Ironman Korea and qualified for Hawaii .  I went 10:32 in Hawaii .  It was a great year and a lot of it was because of the great setup on my bike; I went 5:20 in Hawaii and 5:30 in Korea .  Best regards, John

Personalized Service - I wanted to say thank you again for the personalized service you game me when I was up for the Performance Analysis. I have never had that kind of service from anyone since I started this sport 5 years ago. You and Sarah have been great... In regards to the new fit, it feels great. The combination of the new S bends and the seat adjustment, I can feel the increased power output. This is going to make a huge difference in the up coming season.  I will let you know how things are progressing. Thanks again. Al, CT

Four Hour Drive in the Snow - First let me express my satisfaction with the whole fitting and buying process that took place this Saturday.  While driving four hours through ice and snow covered roads I was hoping this would be all worth it.  I can tell you it was.  I felt everything was done professionaly, especially from a injury prevention standpoint, and never felt you were trying to sell me more bike then I needed.   When I got home I started reading everything I could on the Guru Cron'Alu and was impressed (and relieved).   Thanks again.   Lloyd, NY

Work of Art - Wow!!! The bike (Crono) is an awesome work of art!!!  It is so beautiful that I was afraid to ride her on Christmas...  The fit is perfection... Everything was so perfect that I really wanted to go all day. I don’t know how you do it, but it is awesome to ride a bike that has been fit by you. Thank You… I Love everything about it.   Karen, MA

Better Fit, Smoother Ride - ...the bike feels much better to me.  I know the Elite (Magnus) is still a stiff bike but the road vibration was noticeably less.  I was on a loop that I ride almost every week all summer and the pavement felt smoother.  Carl, NH

Unbelievable Ottrott - Went for a great ride – bike (Ottrott ST) is unbelievable – incredibly light yet  perfect ride –  I was expecting to bounce around a little and was expecting that such a light bike was going to be “oversensitive or too responsive” that clumsy old me would be all over the road – but it’s absolutely fantastic.  Thanks.   Couldn’t be happier.   Josh, NH

Propely Fit Cervelo Speed - I couldn’t be more pleased with the fit service and the new Cervelo .  In my case, the changes were pretty significant.  I would definitely recommend Fit Werx to others.  Alex, CT

More Properly Fit Cervelo Speed - Wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for all of your help this year.  The Soloist and I became a good team, and it looks like my final ranking is going to be 4th for all Masters Nationwide in crits.  Dave, VT

Even More Properly Fit Cervelo Speed - I just dropped 30 seconds off my 14 mile time trial course with dead legs and 25 mph winds.  The new Team Soloist is awesome!  It fits like a glove and feels oh so fast.  I can't wait until tri season next year. Thanks for great ride, Steve, VT

Shipping Daily - Just a quick note to say that the wheels are awesome.  I had a race on Saturday and loved the Zipps.  Thanks so much for your professionalism and quick turnaround…just wanted to say thanks.  Peter, DC

Superior and Efficient - Lynley and I are proud to say that, riding our bikes built by Fit Werx, we both earned first place overall finishes at the annual Echo Lake bike race!  This was Lynley’s first victory, she beat all of her competition from the previous year when she finished fourth, and she was excited to say the least!    We would like to thank all of the staff at Fit Werx for the excellent fit and bike construction.  It is safe to say that the results may have been different if we were not mounted on such superior and efficient rides.  Keone, VT

You Don't Know Until You Do It - Wow! Wow! Wow!  It is amazing having a bike build to me!  I had no idea riding could feel like that. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! Abbi, VT

It may not be “all about the bike” – but boy does the”the bike make a big difference”!  One hundred and twelve miles riding efficiently and in comfrot makes a huge difference in a very long day.  Thank you so very much for your expertise and guidance – Please know that you are sincerely appreciated!  And now that I have a little experience, your expertiseand guidance will make an even bigger difference in future races.   Keep up the great work and take care.   Joni, VT

I AM LOVING IT!!! My new bike (Soloist Team) is AWESOME. It has changed my life. Getting comfy in the aero bars and flying on the roads. Now I just need to remember that there is a 13 mile run after the bike so I don't blow it all on the bike.   Doug, VT

Hurtin' Dogs Gone - Just wanted to give you a quick note to say that the bike (P3 Carbon) is, well, still awesome…  I got off the bike, put my running shoes on, and actually started to run!  My feet didn't hurt!  This is a huge step forward for me!  Thanks for the work with the custom insoles.   Thanks again.  You are the best shop I've been in, and I've been in quite a few.  Colin, I N

The CXII is amazing. Very comfortable and powerful position.  Guy, MA

What a Difference - I’ve been meaning to send you a note, since our visit to your shop. I’ve gone on two rides since the visit, a 25 mile loop around my house and I rode the Timberman course (65 miles w/getting lost) on Friday. Boy, what a difference. Starting with my shoes, it was like I had on a different pair. Thanks go to Sarah for helping me get the buckles just right. Usually after a ride of 65 miles or so, my back and neck would be sore, not now. I got off the bike and ran 3 miles and actually felt rather fresh. I wanted to thank the both of you for a superior job at getting me properly fitted on my bike.    Thanks again, Chuck, MA

Solved - First let me extend my greatest appreciation to you gets guys (and girls) for the fit you gave to me a bit over a year ago now.  I know it's kind of a late thank you but certainly a well deserved one.  Since then I have increased everything on the bike, watts, speed, etc. but more importantly since the fit any knee pain I was experiencing is now non-existent.  Thank you and I am certainly recommending your shop to all my friends.  Scott, CT

Quad Begone - I just wanted to thank you for setting my bike up about 7 weeks ago for Ironman. Before coming in I was burning my quads out on all long bike rides and after spending the few hours with you, I am now riding very comfortably with no leg issues. I just finished Lake Placid and everything went very well for me and my bike of 112 miles was great. I ran the marathon and never once had a quad issue. Thank you for fitting me in and fixing the issues I was experiencing.  Steven, NY

2 Minutes Faster than Goal - Just a word to let you know the combined weight adjustments you made on the Cannondale, fit, and tune up of the shifting worked great -- we had awesome weather at Mt. Washington for the race today.  I finished 3rd in my age class, which is unbelievable for me, and beat the time I was shooting for by 2 minutes -- so thanks for your ideas and efforts.  Dave, MA

Right Choice - Thank you so much for the time you spent with me for my new bike (Serotta CDA).  I absolutely love it!!!  I've gone on two rides since Saturday and I can't believe how comfortable the bike is for me.  I no longer feel like I'm hunched over on the handlebars, the new seat is great and so are my shoes.  I hope to get a long ride in this weekend which will be, I'm sure, even more convincing that I made the right purchase.  Jane , NY

Truly Enjoying Riding Again - I just wanted to let you know that the adjustments you made to my bike in May have worked perfectly – I was able to increase my mileage immediately...my speed has also improved – Thanks so much for your time and effort, I am truly enjoying riding again and (before my fitting) I honestly was not sure that I would be able to (even ride this season).   Nikki, MA

+2mph - I rode about 11 miles because I was somewhat short for time and nervous about the knee.  When I got home the average speed was indeed almost 2mph higher than I do for that loop with an average heart rate 10 beats lower than normal -- even going easy because of the knee.  Very interesting and clearly pretty powerful stuff...   Guy, MA

New Bike without the "New" Part - I just wanted you to know - the fit is awesome - It's as though I got a new bike.  Doug, NYC

Problem Resolution - I just want to reiterate that I am a happy customer.  I appreciate how you handled everything.  In my view, a good company does a lot of things right.  A great company is able to fix things on the few occasions that perfection is not attained.  You guys are a great company.  Ryan, MA    (Note:  Ryan’s new bike had a mechanical/warranty issue that arose the day after he picked it up)

So Far, So Good - I just want to send a quick note along to tell you that the fit feels great.  I've put in a few hundred miles and everything feels good so far.  Thanks for all your help!   R ick, MA

The Nicest Shop - The bike ( Cervelo P3)… is stone-cold awsome!  The position feels great, very stable and fast.  We talked about how I'm usually a bit tentative at high speeds.  So I tried a few things, such as looking behind me at 30+ mph and riding one-handed in the aero position at 30+ mph.  I felt very good and safe and stable all the time.  And FAST!!  Thanks again for everything.  My experience Sunday was hands-down the best bike buying experience I've ever had, and your shop is the nicest of the many I have visited.  You guys really do things right. Colin, VT

Collegiate Racing - This past spring was amazing for me.  I started off the season consistently placing in the top 15 of every race, often being part of decisive breaks or selections.  After the first two weeks I started consistently placing in the top 3.  I became the racer to watch throughout my spring season.  Others always wanted to be in my break knowing it would probably stay away or always wanted to be on my wheel when we hit the hills knowing it'd be a little easier to follow me rather than trying to go faster.  After races, kids would tell come up to me and say ”Hi” or “Good job” and this came from people that I didn't even know.  Before races someone would save me a spot up front.  It was a very new, but welcomed experience.  I was able to lock up a 3rd place for the season overall which was also pretty exciting.  I just wanted to say thanks for the fit, its working out great. Ry an, NH

Get Fit First - I found my fit w/you to be extremely helpful. You are so knowledgeable and professional and I just wished that I had done this prior to buying my bike. So far the changes feel great. I feel much more balanced on the bike and have had no neck, shoulder or back discomfort. My right(shorter) leg is definitely working harder and I'm trying to be aware of using both legs more equally. So far I have had no pain or straining in other muscle groups, so I'm very pleased! …Again, thanks so much for your time and help. I am passing the word about you around Lake Placid . I will see how this bike does for me this season, but I do think a custom made bike is in my future and I will definitely come to you for that! Dorine, NY

29mph - I just finished up the Tour of Shenandoah on Sunday.  On Saturday was a 15 mile TT (this followed 3 100+ mile days of climbing), which was the first real test of the fit you set me up on last Aug...and it passed with flying colors.  I averaged near 29 mph (on a rolling/hilly course), and I have done 0 (that’s zero) workouts on it so far this year.  A little training should have me moving pretty well, but I'm definitely starting out with an advantage from the gun. THANK YOU!   Josh, Cat 1, VT.

Different, Good... - Riding sure feels different, in a good way.  I’ve been riding with the SpinScan the last two mornings and feel my different muscles (quads and calves) at work. No pain in the knee or hip. The insoles rock; my feet feel stable and I am not constantly adjusting my foot angle.  Glad to know I had the best working on my bike so I can ride without wondering if my position was aggravating an injury. Nice to have that confidence when I am out there on the road. Thanks, Jill, NH

Amazing - I have finally been able to get some good rides on my bike (Legend ST) and I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am with it.  The thing is absolutely amazing.  Also, you guys were great during the whole process, putting up with all my questions and my hemming and hawing and ultimately guiding me into a great bike that fits me perfectly.  Thanks so much, Sean, ME

Tremendous - I want to tell you that my riding has improve tremendously.  I did some good training for 16 weeks leading up to the Ironman Arizona held on April 9th.  My best bike time for the 112 mile leg was 6 hrs.+.  I clocked on Sunday a 5 hrs. & 19 mins Ride!  I didn't want to say anything to you until I see the results for myself. – Patrick, Jam aica

Small Changes - Just  a note to thank you for the time you spent on the footbeds, the fit changes and the cleat fit.  I could definitely tell the difference when I rode on Sunday and Monday -- I was able to use a much higher percentage of the pedal stroke with comfort.  I found that my quads were less tired as other muscles were sharing the work, and my average cadence (and therefore speed) were much higher today -- on one of my "normal routes."  Amazing the difference that the small changes made.  Dave, CT

Patience - I wanted to thank you again for your time and patience yesterday in doing my fitting. I found the whole experience fascinating.  Di ane, MA

Unexpected Stiffness and Smoothness - The bike (Serotta Fierte IT) rides great… The bike is extremely responsive. When I pound, it responds very quickly. It is impressive. It also feels stiffer than my De Rosa. I wouldn't have expected that, but it really feels that way. It's not harsh though. Al, NH

Guru and SRM = Unbelievable - I just wanted to let you know that I went out to San Francisco last weekend and brought the Guru for a long training weekend – it was the first time I’ve ridden outside with it and I have to say that it was unbelievable.  It was so responsive – it was like it hopped right along with me up the hills.  And the SRM is absolutely invaluable.  I can’t believe I used to ride without that data.  What a difference.  Robin, MA

Custom Shoes - I love the Rocket7 shoes (we made).  They are one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.   Seth, OR

Perfect Situation - I gotta tell you...Paula's bike came out great! It is really, REALLY beautiful! We both love it! The build is outstanding too. Beautiful job! I really can't say enough! And the best part is that I think it is going to work great for her too. Truly a perfect situation all around.  Bob & Paula, MA

Onward - I rode outside on Saturday and loved the bike fit! So much more comfortable and it did feel more efficient.. so onward.. Thanks so much.  Liz, MA

No More Knee Pain - Just a quick note to say thanks for a great fitting last Saturday. Everyone was great.  I've been riding the bike on the rollers short distances the last 2 days with no knee pain which is a revelation. Dave, M A

Can't Touch This - Thanks for the great fit.  The 40-50 watts I had lost in when in the aero position are back!   Amazing what a really good fit can do.  Ian, you are the (bike fit) man.  My only problem now is that my coach wants to "check out the bike to see if the fit is OK".  He can look, but he can't touch.   Jim, NY

Kona Age Group Win - I set up the Hilo as you recommended and it worked great. Thanks for your help. D onna, VT. (Note:  Donna set an age group record at Kona in 2005.  Congatulations Donna!)

KPH or MPH? - (My bike) seems a lot better.  Maybe I'm in better shape, but the numbers looked so good today I thought for a second it was reading kph not mph!   Jeff, Bermuda

Just Awesome - Hope all is well with you guys.  I had a great ride on Sunday with the new bike (Concours CS Tri)!  The difference between my old bike and new was like going from my '97 Honda Accord with 180k miles to my new Audi A6.  Smoother, faster, quieter, better handling, more comfortable, better technology, just awesome!  I can't wait to get some race wheels (well, maybe next year). Thank you so much for the set-up; you guys are the best!  See you at the races.    Rich, NH
