If a bike doesn't fit right, it's not going to be ridden. A bike not ridden is a very sad bike. Our efforts here at Rodriguez Bicycles to prevent the creation of very sad bikes has been nonstop since the 1970's.

Along with the development of the NEXT fit software system came the realization that we could fit 90% to 95% of our customers if we built our Rodriguez bicycles in 18 sizes instead of the 10 sizes we used to offer. In 2005 we made improvements to our frame shop so that we no longer had to batch similar sizes and types of bicycles together when we manufacture them. This enables us to build 18 production sizes as easily as we could build 6 sizes (like most manufacturers).

Rodriguez Bicycles are offered in 18 production sizes, in addition to our custom offerings. The improvements don't end there though. Our new manufacturing method smooths out things in our paint shop as well. This allows us to offer more choices in paint and decals at no extra charge. Any production bike can be painted one of 4 paint jobs, with your choice of 3 different decal styles (of course custom paint is still an option as always).

How about that? 18 production sizes, 4 production colors, 9 different decal options without even going custom! That means each model comes in 648 varieties without any additional charge for custom. Add to this the NEXT fit software system of fitting, and you're guaranteed to get your perfect bike!

Sizing is serious business at Rodriguez Bicycles.
