DexMax, I'm impressed. would like to see pics of your
frames/bikes.
FOG yes definately! fitting requirements change as fitness
levels change. My own geometry requirements are not
the same as they were when I was 20, more flexible and
had less weight hanging towards the toptube (hey I'm not
that bad, but yes I've gained a few since then).
I prefer a more upright position than before (no, not hybrid
upright, just higher stem relative to saddle), less drop
to the bars.
If you go to a good fitter (serotta is great for this), about
1/2 of the time spent is more about your riding style and
less about hard measurements.
Of course a good fitter will know how much change is going
to occur in your personal style/fitness based on the info you
provide to make choices in Geometry which will be correct in
say 6months, 1 year etc.
And therein lies the key, be honest with the fitter, and
yourself.
Check out the Serotta web site (see Serotta thread) for
more info about their fit system.
