A relevant article - 7 fitting mistakes

Saw this article and thought, 'for a simple few steps in fitting', good advice for things to check.

I'm a bike fitter – these are the seven most common mistakes I see people making | Cycling Weekly

1.saddle pushing forward to reduce reach
2. saddle tilting - usually down
3. wide handlebars
4. cleat position - usually too far forward
5. float issues
6. shoe size issues
7. frame to rider match.

1-6 cover 'touch position' issues which seems right. And the sole one remaining is for folks on a poor frame choice for their 'best fit' position for power and comfort.
