Bikes: In service - FSIR Spin 3.0, Bannard Sunny minivelo, Dahon Dash Altena folder. Several others in construction or temporarily decommissioned.

Sure. For me, since I am not predominantly tall or short, neither lanky nor husky, seatpost length and insertion, stem length and angle alone get me to where I need to be: BB-to-seatpost rail distance: 62mm; Seatpost head to stem-clamp distance: 65-63cm. My Dash has a stem that telescopes up and down, and tilts over a range of 90 degrees, but I never move it. Micro-fitting is a solution to a problem that the mean of the population does not have. I don't need bespoke fitting. As I once said to another channel member here who brings up the micro-fitting possible with a BF time after time, I have dabbled in bespoke suiting, and the fit and look can be great, but one can also dress well and comfortably with an off-the-rack item.

AIRC, you send them a set of key measurements from your favorite road bike once you have your fit dialed in and they then make the Pocket Rocket to match so you have the same setback, reach, bar height, etc.
