I hooked up a friend of mine with a ski lift ticket this morning. He does all the race fits for a few cycling teams in the Denver area. So, I took the opportunity to ask him about fit. He got a bit gruff because as he's said a million times "there's no hard and fast rule for bike fitting, it's a very individual process and that's why I charge $180.00 bones and take anywhere from to 2-3 hours per individual."

I'll add...

Seat height and seat fore aft position are far less subject to rider deviation than top tube length, stem length and drop. The latter three are more about rider preference and flexibility.
