Rick Fit
Chrismas
Are you looking for something unique for Christmas?
Forget those rings, beautiful necklaces, concert tickets to the “Rolling Stones”, a blue and white stripped tie, fancy watches, boring holidays, black socks or the same old Gift Certificate to “Best Buy”… they’ve been there, done that (and expect more of the same) … it’s time for something different … time for some originality …
There’s nothing that says “I Love You" (or "Your a Great Buddy") better than a “Rick Fit & Tune”.
A personalized service in the comfort of you own home.

Do you want your significant other (or best buddy) to ride more?  Do they know getting out on a bike is the second best thing in the world? Do they hesitate to ride for no apparent reason? Sometimes it's a matter of comfort … their back pulls … their neck gets sore … their knees ache … their feet get numb. Any one of these issues is probably an indication of a poor rider position on the bike that can be corrected by a proper Bike Fitting.

“Rick Fit & Tune” is on special from $228 … to … $178 … SAVE $50 … Purchase a Gift Certificate from now until January 1st, 2009 … it can be redeemed at anytime. Parts & GST are extra.
Contact me at rick@ricksbikes.com or 403-614-1807.
Order by Visa or Master Card over the phone, and I’ll send you a Personalized Gift Certificate … with your favourite picture and text (yes … you can supply them via an e-mail attachment)!

Why_Rick_Fit

 

A Professional fitting takes time … between 2 to 3 hours.
When you got your bike, did someone take the time for the individual attention required to properly set your bike to you? Bike set-up is unique to every individual to get the maximum enjoyment out of your ride … paying close attention to Comfort & Efficiency, while reducing the risk of any pain or potential injuries.

 

Road fit

No two people have the exact set-up, even if the have the same body dimensions … there are subtle differences between peoples flexibility and bio mechanics. You can have 10 people with the exact same dimensions and have 10 distinctly different bike fits.

In the comfort and convenience of your own home, your specific bike fit needs will be addressed. I will bring all the needed tools and equipment, including a bike trainer.
