When I put my elbow against the nose of my saddle, the tip of my middle finger is 5 1/2 inches short of the bar. My bike fits the way I want it. Obviously, I like to be more stretched out than most but the bike fits ME. If you like the way the bike feels, it fits. Those bike fitters that separate you from 250 of your hard earned dollars don't know how you feel on the bike. You do. Go with your gut feeling and don't be afraid to make adjustments, just make them in small increments.
