And, a great thing about the BG FIT is that we can provide a thorough, cutting-edge, expert fit in a short amount of time. Plus, if you're purchasing a new Specialized bicycle, you're getting the best in bike technology too.

The BG FIT process:

Pre-fit interview - Every fit, whether it's for a novice or experienced cyclist starts with a brief interview with our trained technician that addresses your needs, goals and injury history.

Flexibility assessment - This evaluation provides an accurate picture of your flexibility and other physical attributes, including assessment of foot structure, knee position, spinal curve, shoulder extension, hip flexion and leg length, among others.

Side view - This is a riding-position assessment using your side view on the bike. The goal is to find the correct neutral position that's both efficient and comfortable by adjusting the seat, handlebars, stem and cleats.

Front view - Analysis from a front view to optimize hip, knee and foot alignment for optimum efficiency and balanced power delivery. This includes analysis of the pedal and shoe placement and how squarely you sit on the seat.

Follow-up - After a week or so, the technician calls to discuss the effectiveness of the adjustments and to answer any other questions or concerns you may have

We can help you ride longer, faster, happier, and healthier so you gain the get the most from your cycling.

Cavendish Soars to Third Career Win at Scheldeprijs

A powerful sprint saw HTC-Highroad's Mark Cavendish rack up the third victory of his career in the Scheldeprijs Classic. Cavendish outgunned Russian Denis Galimzyanov and Yauheni Hutarovich of Belarus to claim the victory in the 200 kilometre one-day race in Belgium.

The HTC-Highroad rider has now taken three victories in the Scheldeprijs Classic, the first in 2007 and the second in 2008.

"The team did a perfect job, chasing down the break and then getting me to the front as they always do," a delighted Cavendish said afterwards.

"[Team-mate] Leigh Howard worked very hard in the last few kilometers, then I came past him and went for the win."

"I'm racing a lot this season, and I've had some bad luck, so it's good I can get the wins in, too."

"My next race will be Paris-Roubaix and then I'll build up for the Tour de France, with the Tour of Italy and the Tour de Suisse before then as well."

Following Cavendish's latest win, HTC-Highroad men's team have now taken 20 victories this season. It is Cavendish's second victory of the 2011 season and the 64th road win of his professional career.

HTC-Highroad for Scheldeprijs - Mark Cavendish (GB) Bernhard Eisel (Aut) Leigh Howard (Aus) Martin Velits (Svk) Gatis Smukulis (Lat) Frantisek Rabon (CR) Alex Rasmussen (Den) Matt Brammeier (Ire)
