Reread the post, numbnuts. And bike companies usually carry about seven size setups for a bike, sometimes as few as four. Out of the fiffillion riders in the world, those seven (or four,) probably don't fit any of them perfectly, or even well at all. Just satisfactorily. If it ain't custom, it's "designed" to be sort of somewhat a little close to the fit of the average rider for a given size range. If that isn't good enough for you, and it probably isn't if you've got a Scott, there are adjustments to be made.
By the way, Mr. W, you have entirely too many nice bikes. Do you eat dog food off cardboard plates?
