Your Recommended Best Bike
Choosing the right bike can feel overwhelming — there are countless options, frame styles, materials and component configurations. Many riders delay their decision because they worry about making the wrong choice. At Chainsmith Bike Shop in Sydney, our focus isn’t on pushing a particular model — it’s on helping you understand what will suit you based on your riding history, preferences and goals.
A Structured Approach to Bike Selection
Rather than relying on reviews, trends or random suggestions, we start with your profile. Every rider is different in terms of flexibility, position, riding terrain and long-term plans. These factors — not just brand or price — are what influence how a bike actually feels and performs for you.Our Recommended Bike process takes a considered approach to your next purchase.
How the Recommendation Works
Start by completing our brief questionnaire (about 7 minutes). It helps us understand:
1. Your riding experience and distance preferences
2. Where you ride most often
3. Your current bike setup (if applicable)
4. Physical measurements and position history
We analyse this information alongside fit data and riding context to identify bikes that align with your profile.
Rather than guessing, you get a personalised recommendation based on relevant data and experienced interpretation.
Why This Matters
A new bike can be a significant investment. A fit-first perspective helps you make that decision with confidence, reducing uncertainty and helping you understand why a specific frame or setup is recommended.This process is grounded in experience — with both the technology and human insight needed to make sense of rider needs first, then options available.
What You’ll Receive After submitting your details:
A tailored bike recommendation
Explanation of why the suggested option suits your riding profile

Dedacciai Scuro
"I was looking for a bike that had performance, comfort and something that not everyone else has. The best part of going through Chainsmith and building a custom bike was building it and picking the parts.
Each bike I have purchased from Chainsmith has exceeded my expectations. I now have 4 Dedacciai in the house and each one of them is just awesome.
Speaking to everyone at Chainsmith and the advice you each have given over the time I have known you has been amazing. The fact that you each ride and are so passionate about each detail is first class. You are not trying to just gain a sale but are focussed on what each person needs and wants. It also goes without saying the mechanical advice and service both David and Ben provide is first class.
Buying a new bike always makes you want to ride more and when you have quality bikes and make adjustments as I like too it is always a pleasure and exciting to throw the leg over."

Basso Diamante
"I wanted a bike that could provide a comfortable ride, that was stiff and I could race on, if I wanted to. I was also after something that was different, that no one had or really knew of.
I placed a lot of trust in the team at Chainsmith in helping me choose the right model. There's no way I would spend the money I have without complete trust in the team there.
On my Basso Diamante I am riding better than ever. When you have a bike like this you gain so much more confidence when cornering because of the stiffness as well as the ability to build and maintain top-end speed.
There's nothing more satisfying than riding a bike you think is way too good for you and then realising that as you improve and get stronger, you can make the bike work for you and not against you.
