I am going to be traveling to Atlanta and I want to know what is the best area bike shop for fitting and purchasing a tri bike. I really don't want to buy a bike without being properly fitted. There's not a good Bike shop where I live and I figured if I was in Atlanta anyway.... Thanks for the help.

there's a cpl
hey, i'd say all3sports ([url]www.all3sports.com[/url]) is the biggest tri shop in atlanta. if you buy the bike there, they'll fit you for free. but honestly, i had a bad experience buying a bike there and haven't been back for anything since. i was fitted on a road bike there once and thought they did a mediocre job to be honest. but i'm not an expert and i know i'm now tainted due to my bad experience trying to buy a bike from them...
however, i can say that the Bicycle Link seems Excellent. i got some repair work done there since they are campy certified and came on excellent referral from a friend. he got his fitting there and swears they're the best in atlanta. they def seem to be the most hard core road riding outfit and i know some top triathletes use them too. [url]http://www.bicyclelink.net/[/url] honestly, i say go there for the fitting.
shame all3sports really didn't go out of there way for me otherwise i would recommend them... but poor customer services comes back to you eventually......
I bought my tri bike at [url]www.roswellbicycles.com[/url] (they are on highway 9 just north of mansell)
Great staff and always treat me with respect as soon as I walk in the door (i purchased two bikes at a total of just over $2200)
Good luck with either, ALL3sports gets alot of my tri business, I've never had a problem there (but didnt get my bike there obviously) either.
I got my bike from All3sports and in my opinion you would be foolish to buy a tri bike anywhere else in Atlanta. These guys know more about tri grear and bikes than anyone else in town.,
I recommend all3sports. I love doing business with those guys. They listened to my budget and compared that to my wants and set me up with some top-shelf equipment. Real happy with bike maintenance. They haven't steered me wrong. I always look forward to visiting their shop.
all3aports is where it's at, broseph! They know everything there is to know, and have the best selection of the best gear, imho. Ask for Zach Winchester...he's a good buddy of mine growing up, and he'll take good care of you. He's helped me out and given me great advice numerous times.
Thanks everyone for the info
