If you have had any experience with fitting you'd know that the cockpit length is the primary driver for a proper fit. That doesn't mean other factors aren't in play.
Yes, on most track frame with really short TT you would know that it most likey a very short cockpit length. Unless is a 48cm frame with a 5'2' rider.
How many 56cm + plus frame have you seen here with 60-70mm stems? Think those4 are fit right? 53cm and a avg rider and a 70mm stem give the right fit? Most likely not.
I have been riding for a long time myself.
Yes you are right: "If you have had any experience with fitting you'd know that the cockpit length is the primary driver for a proper fit. That doesn't mean other factors aren't in play."
Now how many are fit right overall here?
