So the old elbow on saddle / forearm length bike fitting technique....

(see 'Handlebar reach' here: http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/technique-perfect-mountain-bike-fit-29498/ )

Obviously this is only a rough fitting method, but does this still apply with 'modern geometry'? How far should your fingers reach if the bike is suitably long, low 'n slack? 8)

No-one?

The magazines would have us think no bike is any good unless it's a foot longer than one from the 90s...
