Just thought I'd put my two penneth in. In agreement with illy.
Erm the cycle-fit is a dubious experience. I have had a large number of club boys telling me it was a waste of money (although I have heard the odd happy person). I've been riding every type of bike you can imagine for 20 years now (since I was 5! Haha) and I can tell you with respect all road bikes you know what suits you best. If it ain't broke don't fix it. The rolling stone gathers no moss (thought I'd chuck in another cliche there). Use the money elsewhere.
I've heard of people going to Cyclefit, then a shop in B'mouth and others, where they consistantly get told different measurements. Do what feels right. The great cyclists of the Tour have ofter had perculiar styles, thise that fit their way of cycling.
Don't try and make it a science, riding is a passion and should be treated as such in every area...
