I am really anxious to read and experience this approach to bike fit. I am all about rational thinking and applied systems thinking. Especially when applied to a passion.
I have often thought about a process for lining up a camera's image plane parallel to the bike frame and shooting the rider, on the bike, through a glass pane with a grid marked on it. I think defining the primary points on the body, such as the hip, shoulder, and elbow - then matching up the bike parts - bottom bracket, head tube etc makes a lot of sense.
Then - getting manufacturers to adopt these would be the trick. There seams to be a notion amongst manufactures that if I can confuse the consumer, I can upsell them by trickery or fashion.
I do not ride a cervelo - but I REALLY appreciate the respect shown the consumer in the recent ads. Fully describe the low end and then tell me exactly what the difference is as I spend more money. Hey SONY, NIKE, POLAR... are you listening????
