"Project One Custom means that: frame-size, frame-finish, crank-length, stem-length, bar-width etc, are perfected choices rather than costly mistakes."

Superbike Peak Carbon

Within the category of top-flight race-bikes, there is a virtual arms-race between the bike manufacturers with the deepest R&D pockets. All of them trying to revise, re-think and re-engineer, what is possible if they stretch the latest carbon weave to its performance limits. We can't own and drive a Formula One car but we can ride a full factory-innovated Tour de France bike. And right now as the latest technology out of the super-lab, Trek's Gen8 Madone is the unchallenged apotheosis.

David read our Gen8 Madone launch piece, and as a Trek fan, who still has hard-charging riding goals, wanted the F1 riding experience. David's Project One Madone is our first Gen8 to be delivered. Our goal was to deliver a race-bike that was 'substantially' under the 6.8kg UCI limit!

Project One Customisation at Cyclefit - means that: frame-size, frame-finish, crank-length, stem-length, bar-width etc, are evaluated and perfected choices rather than potential costly mistakes.

What our clients say

  • "I'm new to cycling so needed some support on finding a bike that would be right for me. Julian couldn't have been kinder or more supportive, he took time to find out what I wanted from my cycling and then looked closely at my physical structure to ensure that the bike is a comfortable fit for me. It really is a 5 star service and far exceeded my expectations."

    RM

    New Cyclist

  • "Hey Julian and Phil, I hope you are both well. I just completed a 21 hour week on my new 165mm cranks and I am in love. They feel so so great! Thank you for all your help. I’ve never felt so comfortable on my bike before. All the best, Hannah"

    Hannah Barnes

    National Champion / Professional Bike Rider

  • "The personal service from both Phil and Julian is second to none. They have such a wealth of experience in fitting that they can almost tell at a glance if something is just a little off. It felt as though it didn't matter how long it took to get the best position possible - even for an amateur cyclist like myself. Can't recommend them enough."

    Susan

    Cyclist

  • "Rode my standard Box Hill loop this morning with the temp shims and more thought to position. Felt more connected and compact on the bike. Fastest ride of the year, picked up close to a km/per hour despite crappy wet pot holed roads, a ton of traffic and a couple of nights out Thu/Fri."

    Matt H

    Seven Evergreen SL

  • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"
