Patent number: 9844715Abstract: An optimal bicycle frame size based on operational characteristics provided by a rider when riding a dynamic fit unit is determined. A best-fit bicycle frame size that is a closest match to the optimal frame size is determined. At least one of the optimal X,Y location of the bicycle's handlebar relative to the bottom bracket, and the optimal X,Y location of the bicycle's seat relative to the bottom bracket, is determined. A stem and spacer from a list of available stems and spacers that will best fit between the head tube of the best-fit frame and the optimal X,Y location of the handlebar is determined. A seat post from a list of available seat posts that will best fit between the seat tube of the best-fit frame and the optimal X,Y location of the seat is determined. A list of the best-fit frame, the best fit stem and spacer, and the best fit seat post, is produced.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Cycling Sports Group, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Kautz, Scott Alan Rice, Jean-Paul Racine, Jason Andrew Clark, Antonio Giannascoli

Patent number: 9403052Abstract: A stationary bicycle with a frame. A crankset is rotatably mounted to the frame to receive a pedaling actuation from a user of the stationary bicycle. A seat is mounted to the frame to support the user using the crankset in the pedaling actuation. A handlebar is mounted to the frame to serve as a hand/arm support for the user during the pedaling actuation. Translational joints between the frame and the seat and the handlebar are provided for translational displacement of the seat or handlebar with respect to the crankset. A mechanism is connected to the translational joint for locking the translational joint in a selected position, the mechanism allowing movement of the translational joint solely by a selected actuation displacing the translational joint proportionally in the direction of the translational displacement.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2011Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Cycling Sports Group, Inc.Inventors: Antonio Giannascoli, Eric St-Amant, Guy Thibault
