I've got a couple of bikes from them and I'm certainly neither rich nor clueless! They offer a certain level of service and products to a certain level of customer. That Guru worked out at £2.5k which is over the odds imo but perhaps the buyer decided to get a really good bike made for him to suit his needs. The other side of the Cyclefit coin is this

Talk about spin, and a desperate craving for "authenticity" and "street-cred", whatever they are. So he parks his bike in the shop once a month and he's their favourite customer. It is exactly as far as you can get from their typical "client".

Quite.

The words 'Serotta' and 'Colnago' are the giveaway. You don't get to pay central London rent and business rates through altruism, and you need a steady stream of wealthy people to keep it going.

Not knocking their service, mind you, but I think it's fair to say that an experienced rider probably wouldn't require it.  ;)

They aren't a bike shop per se. They are a fitting service that can sell you a bike. No diffeent to going to Saville Row or having a car made. My partner clocked up a lot of audax miles incl a few RTYR awards ( twice in 1 year) and they sorted out some pedal/position issues out for her.
