I recently bought a bike from ATA and can thoroughly recommend the experience.\r
\r
Originally I was looking for an experienced bike fitter as last year I had minor surgery on one of my knees and was keen to set up my current bike in the best configuration possible.\r
\r
Living outside the area I did some web research, rang ATA and was impressed with their detailed approach. The bike fit progressed well it was amazing to see the substantial roll call of equipment Hasam has invested in and his passion in bike fitting and injury prevention.\r
\r
I have to admit I was initially disappointed with Hasam's verdict “don’t ride your bike again, you are only one good ride away from hurting yourself”. Although if I am honest the bike was mainly purchased based on price and never really felt right.\r
\r
We discussed various options for a replacement and after some 3.5 hrs I left somewhat conflicted. Hasam’s advice seemed heartfelt but I worried it could be somewhat self serving, after all I only visited for a bike fit not a new bike.\r
\r
The next day I rang ATA to discuss the bike further and my fears that as the bike I had chosen was a complex custom build I was looking at making a significant purchase based on “Trust me you will never ride a bike that feels so right as this one and you will not regret it”. Hasam could not have been more patient or understanding and as a result I made the leap of faith.\r
\r
I have to say that despite my doubts the bike does in fact feel incredible, my first few rides were 45 miles then 125 miles and every mile felt more comfortable than I thought would be possible.\r
\r
ATA is not like any other bike shop I have visited (and I have frequented many) their approach of putting the bike fit, front and centre and ensuring this drives the selection of the correct bike sets them apart.\r
\r
If you are looking for a bike that makes you smile every time you wheel it out of the garage visit the team at ATA.\r
