Agree with this.
You'll definitely know if you've got a crap bike fit after sitting on it for 8 hours.
It will also become incredibly apparant either how good or how poor your clothing is you're wearing. In my case, the Steam Ride Audax - I was wearing a pair of Rapha Pro Bib shorts (RRP £150) - which turned out to be the WORST pair of bib shorts I've ever worn. Incredibly tight around the thighs to the point I was almost about to cut them. Promptly god rid of them after this.
Also, vibrations and the tape on your bike and the gloves you're wearing will all play a part - a really chatty bike and you'll start to regret it with another 2 hours to go, and having crap bar tape or no padding on your gloves - your hands start to get quite sore - especially if it's really hot weather..
