Pearson House Design (PhD) is our in-house design system. A method developed using data from thousands of bike-fittings, it enables Pearson to create the optimum geometries for all our bike frames. PhD geometry means Pearson frames are designed to be ‘fit-friendly’, able to accommodate a range of positions for men and women. PhD eliminates the need for a made-to-measure frame.
Our design philosophy allows us to optimise your position by changing stem length, saddle height and setback, crank length and cleat position. A Pearson online bike-fit sizing also considers your riding aspirations, fitness, flexibility and any injury history. For maximising comfort and efficiency, a bike-fit sizing is essential. That’s why no Pearson bike bought online leaves our premises without one.
Pearson has been fitting bikes for longer than any other bike company in the world. We've learned a few things in that century and a half. So, while much has changed since the days when we fitted penny-farthings, we believe that every decade counts, that knowledge is accumulative. Our mechanics might combine strong young hands with the latest tech, but they're overseen by some wise old heads to ensure customers achieve the best possible riding experience.
As compensation for finalising assembly of a Pearson’s bike we offer £30 payment to retailers or a £30 voucher to your friendly mechanic. Our experience suggests that following this final bike assembly a retailer is guaranteed further visits from each customer, establishing longer term relationships and ongoing custom. It’s a great opportunity demonstrate quality service.
