Didn't I say that?
"Relaxed fit" is fit, and that can happen regardless of the bike's geometry
Sure, it's relative. I said that too. And it's important to know what it is relative to when using it.
If "relaxed fit" isn't about being more comfortable, I can't imagine what else it would be.
I suppose you must be using that relative to how a person is set up to fit a particular bike. But when talking broadly about two different bikes a person is looking at, I can say that a Specialized Roubaix will give a more relaxed fit than a Specialized Tarmac. However on either I can be fit either aggressively to give better performance or relaxed to give more comfort. But the aggressive position on a Roubaix is will never be as aggressive a position as can be had on a Tarmac. And vise-versa.
"Fit" has nothing to do with the way the bike rides.
I don't think I said it did. The geometry of a bike can suggest whether that bike will lend itself better for touring and loaded up with stuff you need to take along. Or whether it's more for one days fast riding unloaded. But don't take that to mean they can only do that one thing.
