Description

Rare early bicycle fitting system from FitKit Systems, introduced in 1979 and run through the 80's and perhaps into 90's. It comes with a variety of fitting tools, with the highlight being the revolutionary Rotational Adjustment Device to set precise anatomical cleat adjustment along with adapters for it (Look, SPD?). High quality wooden box. This is wonderful for its intended purpose if you're old school, and doubles as a killer display piece or gift for your mechanic loved one.

From the manufacturer

Fit Kit Systems had its origins in the pioneering bicycle fitting research of William (Bill) Farrell of the New England Cycling Academy, which he founded in 1979. Over the next few years, Bill developed the Rotational Adjustment Device (R.A.D) to address injury problems resulting from misaligned cleats, “The Fit Kit” to assist with selecting an appropriate frame size, and seminars to teach the principle and practices of bike fitting.

These developments led to a strong engagement with the cyclists at the US Olympic Training Center and the US National Cycling Team. Having established credentials in the upper echelons of the sport, Bill extended the promotion and use of “The Fit Kit” and “RAD” to bicycle dealers across the country and around the world for use with not only elite level athletes, but recreational and sportive riders.
