Do some core strength and flexibility training for a few months before getting a fit done. Scherrit was saying he wished most people did this before having a fit done.
Some frame builders are brilliant builders but not may not be so great at the fit aspect. Many people with custom bikes are possibly not keen to say their bike is not perfect or may not know the difference between a good and a great fit.
Builders who spec your bike based on your current frame assume your bike is the correct fit. A good fitter takes your current position and adjusts it to enhance.
The fit will depend on what you intend to do- racing/sportive/touring will all require slightly different positions.
