Hi Barna here, I'm the guy some of you may have seen popping in to the fit studio when Jules or Phil struggle with a tricky seat clamp or need some new handlebar tape fitting. I build all the bikes that Jimmy, Phil and Jules sell and also set up the bikes to the correct dimensions after a Cyclefit. I take care of all the servicing and repairs of customer's bikes. All of those gorgeous bikes in the Cyclefit Gallery have been lovingly assembled by my good-self.
I have been with Cyclefit since 2009 and been a cycle mechanic since 2005. I originally trained as an engineer back in Hungary while racing on the road and rode for the Hungarian National Cyclo Cross Team in my late teens.
I'm a huge cycling fan (and a Gunner) and have recently purchased a Trek Emonda SLR for my annual trip to the Stelvio in May and use a Seven Axiom SL as my regular commuter bike.
Below are the workshop services that we offer at Cyclefit, please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.
