Bike fit is usually seen to be concerned with creating biomechanical optimisation, pedalling efficiency, and comfort. But when you're choosing a new bike do you care about the handling characteristics of your new bike? How can you tell how a new bike will steer? Can you even tell before you've ridden it?

It's no secret we are big fans of versatile bikes... This means bikes that are simple to adjust, adaptable, easy to maintain and have longevity.
