Ive been professionally fit. I have a 75.2 inseam and the fitter had my saddle height at 65cm to bb or 82cm to spindle. This was several years ago. My saddle height has Since been set at 79cm and changed that way for years. 82cm was obcenely high for me. I'm only asking this question because I don't understand how you can tolerate a saddle that is close to 10% hire than your leg length unless you have enormous feet. It just doesn't make sense. I ride with the A group in my town and get along just fine.

^you still have to add a bend to your knee. I have read a lot on this subject and tend to agree with Steve Hoggs fitting practices. I've never used him personally, but have read everything he has written and it makes sense.
