Fifty One Bikes SIKA Review. Designed by bike fitters sending specific fit requests to these custom geometry experts in Ireland. This is their 'off the shelf' model called the SIKA. It is born from the most common fit requests submitted by bike fitters. In this video I take you on a full quality inspection of every part of the bike. I build it to a spec suited to its use, and take it for a couple of rides.
