		<description><![CDATA[Hey Michael, great question. 

If you&#039;re not sure about sizing pre-purchase, it&#039;s worth going and consulting with a fitter or detail-oriented bike store before splashing the cash. Retul, for instance, have a program (https://www.retul.com/retul-products/frame-finder/) which will help advise on the suitability of various bikes based on your dimensions. But once you know you&#039;re pretty close and on a suitable frame size, it&#039;s more a process of tweaking rather than looking at entirely different geometries. 

In my case, the dimensions of my new bike were pretty similar to a previous bike that I&#039;d been fitted on using both Retul and Specialized Body Geometry; I knew that the geometry was in the right ballpark, give or take a few millimetres. The key outcome from this fit was sorting out the cleat position, identifying a leg length discrepancy and adjusting set-back to counteract back-pain, and I think the fitter would have achieved similarly positive results on this bike or my previous one.  

Hope this helps!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Had the same experience myself when recovering from knee &amp; lower back issues on bike, caused by slight scoliosis. I found Jason Nicholls of IOS in Brighton and received a similar thorough and successful result. Got me back to doing 200&#039;s when I never thought I&#039;d be able to ride more than 20k again. I go back and see him every time I get a new bike!]]></description>
