Custom Builds

We appreciate wanting a bike built up specifically for your needs. Our sales staff can help you with frame/wheels/parts selections, as well as giving you pricing options and timelines.

BG Fit

Having a great bike is only great if it fits. Although we ensure that every bike we sell fits well, our Victoria location also has two Specialized BG Fit certified bike fitters on staff for racers and people with very specific fit requirements. As some of the few BG Fit “Professors” in Canada, Scott Martin and Derek Kidd were trained in the program designed by Dr. Andy Pruitt, the same person who fits team Saxo-Bank for the Tour de France.
