My crit-racing days went away by '92, yet I rode that racing fit for many years, even transferring the numbers to a new bike. I first went to Dave in 2001-ish and he set up my bike for "touring" (by his definition, anyone who is not racing, even how hard you train). This might be considered an "endurance" fit in today's terminology. I loved it but found out that after several years had passed, my body had changed and the previous fit just didn't feel right. I'd lost height (was 6-1, now 6-0) and I felt I was reaching too far. The bike actually became too big for me--I'd probably size down if I got a new one, or at least one with a shorter TT. He saved it by going to a shorter stem but it's as short as you can go and not affect steering feel. I now get checked every 1-2 years but by another source (nearer to me and sponsored by). I'm stronger and faster with an endurance fit.
