Lookit, I personally know of at least a two (not a lot, I know but more than one) cyclists who have been "professionally fit" and their resultant fit is clearly effed up.
Just because some guy at a LBS took a course to be a "XYZ certified fitter" doesn't mean he/she really knows what he/she is doing.
And I know fitting guidelines are not hard and fast and need to be tweaked for individual needs. I am wondering if there is a trend towards saddle height lower than the old 0.883 rule (or lock knee with heel on pedal at downstroke, which yields about the same saddle height) suggests.
