Thanks for the Missile :: Fastest Non Pro Bike Split at the London Tri!
Thursday, November 4th, 2010
We love to hear back from former Bike Science customers letting us know how they’ve been getting on with their new bikes and riding positions. This week one of the first customers to pick up a custom built Planet X Exocet from us back in June dropped us an email….
“Just a quick one to say that the exocet together with your bike fit WORKED – if you’re still a BTF member and get the Tri News magazine, check page 41 where i was credited with the fastest non-elite bike split at the London Tri (59.09). The bike is definitely very rapid – going to book in some TTs next year to see exactly what it’s capable of.”

Ian Cammish Bike Fit – I’m a Triathlete!
Monday, April 26th, 2010
As a bike fitter, last Saturday was always going to be interesting and to be honest I’d fully expected that we’d take a set of Retul measurements from 9 times BBAR winner and one of the most experienced time trial riders in the UK and simply confirm his riding position was bang on and leave it at that. As it happens, after checking and re-checking Ian’s position we ended up making some pretty significant changes…
