Anyone using an app to store bike fit measurements ?

I've got them in text format in table form, but though it would be cool to have a graphic where one can have the measurements on. Plus maybe a history of your changes.

All my bikes were setup this way, with only my stem length changing at a real bike fitting.
It gets you close enough to be able to do fine adjustments later on.

without going through the process of inputting all my measurements, does that give you a graphic representation of your fit (i.e. pic of bike with measurements) ?

I've had a bike fit and follow up sessions done, what I'm looking for is something other than a bunch of metric in a table format representation of those measurements.

all roadbikes are basically double diamond frame but it doesn't mean they will fit in the same parameters. you get things like seattubees changing quite a bit on where the seat stay fits.

 

I'm not sure what's wrong with a table, or even just a basic excel drawing.

I'm a visual person, a picture of a bike is better than a spreadsheet.

 

But the bike itself in the pic doesnt matter. You can have a generic road bike that you name "my spez abc" and then have your bike fit measurements overlayed onto the correct areas. Saddle height, saddle angle, saddle offset, saddle to bar distance etc.

Then you have generic pics for each of your bikes and the bike fit measurements for each of those.

Change a saddle on one bike and you make a copy of that bike on the app and just change the saddle position for the new saddle. Later on when you're looking at what changed you have a history of that bike and you can see the changes you made along the way wrt bike fit.

 

If such an app does not exist maybe I should look into making one.

As Shebeen says you don't need anything complicated.

A spreadsheet with all your dimensions and a reference pic to insert into the sheet page

Then you have a visual as well as a table that is easily updated.

Then just copy the sheet and date reference it when you change anything in the table.

The best approach is to never change anything, but rather buy a new bike with the new measurements, and keep the old bike as is. Then you can visually see your history, and it’s easy to go back if something isn’t working

My bike fit had the measurements in a table format with a link to the graphic as the others have stated. They even marked the seat post height and saddle rails and my cleat position with white marker pen for easy positioning when stripping the bike for cleaning/replacement parts.

The Competitive Cyclist link is for people wanting to know a range of dimensions that will fit their "body frame".

That graphic is basically what I'm looking for. My bike fit provided the table and marked the various components, but I like the graphic.

But since no one has mentioned an app for this I think I'll set it as a project to develop it.
