How is my fit?
Following the competitive cyclist fit calc and one solid year of riding / altering things as I went this is how I currently fit my bike. I've done quite a few 100+mi rides with these positions. But I figured it couldn't hurt to post here and have some fresh eyes take a peek and possibly offer some suggestions.

Looks pretty perfect to me, though if you wanted to nit pick something, I wonder if your bars couldn't be a bit lower in order to bring your most common hand grip, the hoods, into a bit more aero position. You certainly seem to have the flexibility for it.
You also seem to be behind the pedals a bit and toe pointing, which makes me wonder if you couldn't develop a little more power getting on top of the pedals more (by moving your seat forward a touch). In conjunction with the lower bars, that might be fun to try.

** dropped the bars 10mm and brought the saddle forward 5mm, bike actually feels quite amazing.
might do another vid tomorrow to compare.
