The Ultimate Fitting Rig? Pretty cool anyway.....

PezCycling News - What's Cool In Pro Cycling

Ford gets props for both rejecting Government stimulus and also adding a little stim to Interbike, partnering with Serotta and showing its Transit Connect.

This thing comes in a few different build outs starting at a reasonable $20K and made in Cargo (with multiple storage options) and Van (seat 5) configurations that allow for lots of different storage combinations from team (or show off individual) race day rigs, general business haulers and the like with racks, shelves, stands etc (way more than just bike friendly) to a set up that takes the cake as the nicest mobile fit lab on the planet.

Inside this van is the single coolest product at this year's show (at least for a geek like me). SICI's new fitting / testing bike.

The Transit holds loads of different gear beyond this


What do you want in the ultimate fitting rig? Well the ability to move most of the fitting points on the fly! Take note of the large crank and screw-drive mounts...

If you've been in industrial machine settings you might recognize a system like this as a widely held standard for moving heavy equipment. On this rig the system is used to micro adjust the rider's position in as smooth a fashion as possible while a rider is on board.

The saddle height is also adjustable while riding and even the saddle tilt gets the oversized screws to adjust tilt easily and quickly...

And what fit bike with shift on the fly geometry would be complete without a fully integrated CompuTrainer?

This unit comes with a swivel screen computer also built in so that fitter and rider can see the spin scan, power and efficiency changes as the geometry is tweaked.
