Based upon that they can then match you up with a frame that matches that geometry. You then test ride the different brands.

As far as putting eyeballing you and putting you on a bike and adjusting it. That should be free and anyone in a bike store should be able to do that. Most of the posters here could also do it.
Lots of folks say this and while it's not really false info, it's not something most need to invest in either. Most bike shops will be able to adjust fit for you at the point of sale to the point that it will work for you. I've got a wide range of bikes and have never had a true professional fit for any of them, even my TCR.
