Have a look at Bike Fit Tuesdays on youtube and see if there is any difference, I will have a look at this one later.

Why do you think that? He looks like he has long arms.

Patiently waiting for KOPs and some sort of saddle height formula that doesn't take anything it needs to into account

It's only (some) roadies who are obsessed with bike fit.

Does moving the saddle a few mm forward or back really make any difference?

Just look at the drop. Far too much.

I know of plenty of long armed guys that ride that low, not for me though, it may be set up for racing.

Now that depends.

They may ride that way but it’s not good bike fit

i am listening as I am interested in this type of thing, now say that drop is 6 inches the same as Froome would you say that is too much. From the video the guys looks like he has really long arms as I said earlier, how would you suggest getting aero without going low with the bars? I should add that I have not looked at the video much only a quick scan, my feeling is way to many fitters fit the saddle to high.

i agree with this i know someone whos tall and has a lot of drop but his actual body position is actually no better than mine and i only have about 2 cm of drop in fact measured from saddle to the hoods its zero but then again im a shorty and if im honest i could probably size down but its hard to get a smaller bike on general sale .
