Bear with me....
I've had a bike fit on one bike (tripster) and am awaiting the Rutel measurements for that..

I like how my scandal fits me (not had a bike fit on that).

I'm wondering if there's a decent app or website where I can enter geometry readings for actual bikes or 'perfect readings' from the bike fit, and overlay them etc.
THus if I get a new bike, I can set it up like bike-x or whatever.

I know I could just make a spreadsheet of the typical measurements, but I like the idea of being able to have it on an iPad/web based...

Thoughts...suggestions... (don't say "you think too much, get a life"...i know that!)

Like this one? http://www.bikegeo.net/

Sort of pointless though, as it's daft to set a new bike up exactly like an existing one (unless of course it's the same bike).

Key measurements you need are saddle height, reach to bars and saddle to bar drop; then you can work it out around that.

Although you can't really compare between an MTB and a road racing bike as all the measurements will be different.

This sounds like it's just what you're looking for.
Personally I think it's fantastic for comparing the geometry of different bikes.

I bought this app for the iPhone, video analysis, takes measurements, gives suggestions for ideal etc. A bit of a bind setting the phone up in exactly the right place without a tripod or whatever but it did seem to work well, I haven't used it to its fullest thought I am sure.

I tend not to change shape when I get off one bike and onto another, YMMV ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yep its much easier to start from a place where you know youve been comfortable if the bikes are similar enough, then adjust from there if required to suit change in bike type or required riding style.
