competitive cyclist is fine. What I meant was if you go to a specific mfg website, lets just arbitrarily say cannondale, you can input that you are 8 feet tall and they are going to recommend their largest sized bike even though it may actually not fit you. An independent source for fitting is going to give more accurate numbers.
