looking at recent bike fit pic post got me thinking --- are there any other bike fit parameters besides:

1. Comfort

2. Power

3. Aerodynamics?

I can't think of any.

And of these three, isnt it almost always best to go for Comfort, then look at Power and Aero modifications (which often offset each other - e.g., position w/ more power is less aero)? I just think that people see the Larsons and Bjorns and read too many glossy mags and get fixated with 2 and 3 and forget about 1. And given the average speed of an IM AGer it seems clear that, assuming comfort is maximized, then the fit should be geared towards power with aero a distant 3rd. I mean, assuming you are not dragging a parachute behind you, how much of an impact will say moving elbows 2cm closer together or nose 2cm closer to front wheel have at an avg speed of 30-32kph? And the bigger question is whether that aero tweak be offset by loss in power or comfort? (assuming of course that you can maintain that more aggressive aero position without fidgeting, stretching, etc. thereby losing all aero advantage of said position and probably creating more drag than a roadie riding comfortably and steadily on the hoods),

Am I right or am I right?

Now if you will excuse me I need to go peruse a catalog of dimpled discs and skin suits.
