It's actually quite a reasonable line of conversation when shopping for a bike...

Anyway. So I did the heal test and couldn't even keep contact with the pedal over a full rotation. With that fact and the .883 method and with a few guys here saying it sounds high I dropped it down 2.5cm and I'm just able to keep contact withy heals. I went for a short ride and it feels really wierd...very low and lacking power.

My current seat height was the result of me slowly pushing it up over the 12 months I've had my current bike.

So I'm super confused... Time for a pro bike fit I think...
