https://www.bsn.com/Cycling/ergobike.html However, the one night I tried it, it didn't work. YMMV.

Don't know in general the most complex or most sophisticated, but you asked specifically about femur and tibia length. Competitive Cyclist's Fit Calculator does make that distinction.

The same dimension is measured differently by different bike manufacturers and it changes with different types of bikes too. Unless you can translate this it does not mean much.

Having just gone through the process with two different fitters, I would be very hesitant to rely just on what a computer spits out. While the initial recommendations of Fit Kit and other systems is helpful as a starting point, I would suggest a Serrotta fit specialist or Waterford/Gunnar assuming that both have a fit-cycle where you can take the suggested geometry and see how it feels while pedalling as well as having someone look at your position on the bike to look for problems.

I just found this. Looks very complicated and in depth. If difficulty==precision, then you'll love it:

Remember that any fit system that does involve you actually riding your bike is going to be just a starting point.
