NEW BIKE CONSULTING

IOG-08.png
Our goal is to make your bike buying experience as wonderful and special as your new bike.
— Chris Soden, IOG Bike Fit and Consulting

OUR FIT-BASED APPROACH

A new bike purchase is a big deal, and one that we take very seriously.

Historically we have been known as “just” a bike fit studio. IOG is so much more – a hub of expertise, industry knowledge and guidance around all things bikes. Whether you are looking to optimize your position on your current bike or find a new bike, IOG is your solution. Professionally sized and built, we can be your conduit for a heightened and elevated bike buying experience.

Selling bikes complements our core bike fit services, which allows us to offer you a bespoke bike buying experience unlike your typical bike shop.

We have access to over a dozen brands and all major component companies in order to completly customize your new bike.

We take pride in offering a no-pressure, one-on-one experience. No rows of bikes, no “bad buying” inventory decisions that we have to fix, and nearly unlimited brand offerings.

Every bike we sell is made to order, and custom-tailored to fit you perfectly and exceed your expectations.

OUR PROCESS

  1. Meet with your IOG Fit Professional to share your vision and goals for your new bike. We are able to accommodate in-person and remote consulting for this stage of the process.

  2. We may suggest our New Bike Purchase Bike Fit on our fully adjustable "fitbike" at IOG’s sTudio to establish your position and match that position to all aspects of your new bike – frame(s), contact points, crank length, etc. Oftentimes, we will ALSO use your existing bike as a baseline if available.

  3. AFTER YOUR FIT IS ESTABLISHED, We will work with you one-on-one and guide you through the buying process with confidence – offering expert, unbiased advice and consulting on geometry, components, and build.

  4. IOG is available to source all components (including frame, fork, saddle, power meter, etc.) as needed.

  5. Using our trusted, standalone, and professional bike mechanics, we work to build your bike to spec using the sizing coordinates established in Step 2.

  6. Upon completion, we will invite you back to IOG for a follow-up fit and adjustment, to complete the process and ensure a perfect fit.

TESTIMONIALS

Their studio is an amazing resource for bike fits and an invaluable resource if you’re interested in a new or custom bike. Chris not only dialed in my fit, but worked with me on the myriad details that went into the building of my custom Parlee. This included everything from securing the frame to coordinating with the people at Spectrum on a special paint scheme to numerous conversations with component suppliers like Enve to make sure all the details were perfect.

In short, Chris and Ivan rock. Whether it’s time to update your fit or you’re thinking of building your dream bike, these are the guys you want to be working with.

_________________________

The [bike buying] experience we had with Chris was totally different. He literally took the measurements he had on file of me, listened to my goals in racing, and researched what would be the best bike for ME! He continued to answer questions and find the best equipment based on what would optimize my fit and my performance. He built a relationship with us as clients allowing for open and quick communication keeping cost in mind and ensuring the most bang for our buck.

Now that I know better, I prefer buying my bike from a tailored professional who knows what’s out there and is willing to think through the best recommendations for me as an athlete.

We loved working with Chris so much that we had him down to meet our tri club! Chris and Ivan are our bike guys for as long as they will have us.
