Reparto Corse On-Line Fitting -- The Reparto Corse on-line fitting has its roots in the (C.O.N.I.) Italian Olympic Committee’s research conducted to help determine the optimum sizing and positioning for the cyclists representing Italy at international events. To revceive a fitting suggestion submit your measurements and I will respond with sizing based on your measurement numbers as well as your criteria for riding style and budget. If you have any questions during the process of your fitting; or would appreciate my guidance please call (914 328 9811) or email me and I will assist you. For the most accurate results you will need a friendly assistant. In order to be accurate take each measurement two to three times. All measurements must be provided in centimeters where indicated. 1.) Leg length: We measure leg length as the distance from the bottom of your pelvis to the sole of your feet. To do the leg length measurement stand with your feet a few inches apart and your back against a wall. Using a slim book (about an inch wide), hold the spine of the book firmly against the bottom of your pelvis (we want there to be about 15 pounds of pressure), and the bottom of the book against the wall to form a 90 degree angle, and measure from the floor to the top of the book’s spine. 2.) Foot length: We measure foot length as the distance from the back of your heels to the end of your longest toe. To do the foot length measurement place your heels against a wall and a straight edge across the end of your toes. Measure from the wall to the inside edge of the straight edge. It is normal for there to be a slight difference in the length of your feet. If this is the case, submit the larger foot’s length. 3.) Torso length: We measure torso length as the distance from the top of your sternum's notch to the top of your pelvis. To do the torso length measurement stand with your back against a wall and shoulders square while holding a book with a spine of no more than one inch in width against the bottom of your pelvis and measure from the top of the book's spine to your sternum's notch. Again, we want there to be about 15 pounds of pressure against your pelvis to achieve an accurate measurement. 4.) Thigh length: We measure thigh length as the distance from the bottom of your pelvis to the bottom of your kneecap. To do the thigh measurement, kneel with your torso and legs straight. Measure from the floor to the top of the same book spine used for the leg and torso measurements. Remember, it is important to have 15 pounds of pressure against your pelvis to achieve an accurate measurement. 5.) Arm length: We measure arm length as the distance from the point where your arm pivots at the shoulder to the first knuckle of your thumb. You may use either arm. To find the pivot point keep your elbow straight, hold your arm out to the side and move it arm up and down. Once you have located the pivot point at the end of your shoulder, measure from that point to the first knuckle of your thumb. 6.) Shoulder width: We measure shoulder width as the distance across from one pivot point to the other on each shoulder/arm junction. To measure your shoulder width, raise both arms to a 45 degree angle from your body to the side and measure from one pivot point to the other across your back as you would for a suit measurement. 7.) Weight: Use an accurate scale and give me the measurement in pounds. 8.) Height: Measure from the floor to the top of your head in either feet and inches or centimeters. 9.) Riding style: Aggressive or Casual 10.) Price range. Please specify your budget for a new frame on its own or a complete bike; i.e. Frame--$2000, or Complete bike--$3000.

Reparto Corse - Existing Bike Re-fitting -- A proper bike fit will make you comfortable and efficient. Whatever your goals and needs are there is no substitute for a properly fitted bike. A less than optimal bike fit can cause injury and certainly make you less inclined to ride. A Reparto Corse fitting session for an existing bike will take about 90 minutes. The steps in the fitting are as follows: The fitting begins with a discussion of your cycling goals, needs, riding style and experience. The discussion includes exploring what is working and what is not working about your current positioning. If you have had any injuries and if there are particular problems to address they are recorded so we can begin to make the necessary adjustments. The next step is an assessment of your flexibility and range of motion. After taking measurements for your current position with regard to frame size, saddle height, crank arm length, top tube length, stem length, handle bar width, seat tube angle, saddle positioning and setback I take basic body measurements for inseam, torso, and shoulders. We now have a starting point to begin adjusting your bike fit to achieve the comfortable alignment of your legs, spine, shoulders, arms, hands and feet. The adjustments start at the pedal-foot connection and work their way up and forward. Tools involved include the Size-O-Matic adjustable stem which permits a great range of height, length and angle options. The process of optimizing your position is dynamic so it takes time and cannot be rushed. Each change needs to be evaluated and recorded. The use of the Computrainer and its Spin-scan software during this dynamic portion of the fitting allow both you the rider, and me, the fitter to see what your pedal stroke looks like prior to changes and how our position adjustments smooth and improve your pedal stroke helping you to create power through improved efficiency. With the adjustments to your bike completed it is time to review the areas addressed and changes made to make sure that the fit is comfortable and your goals have been met. We can now change the necessary items such as stem, handlebar, saddle and seat post to duplicate the optimized position we have created. The fitting does not end here however. After moving from the static fitting evaluation, and going through the dynamic fitting position adjustments it is important to evaluate the changes over time on the road where your interaction with the road itself and the conditions you ride in take part in shaping what you feel. In order to get your feedback we will need to ride together giving you an opportunity to utilize my skills as a cycling coach and riding instructor. The Reparto Corse Fitting Studio is located in central Westchester County in Valhalla, NY at 7-11 Legion Drive.

I am also the President of the Unione Sportiva Cycling Club for which I oversee the Rider Development Program and teach riding and race technique. Through nearly 15 years of professional fitting for thousands of cyclists from successful racers to beginning club riders I have always insisted on fitting the bike to the rider instead of forcing the rider to fit the bike.
