Bike fit calculator

I just noticed that Competitive Cyclist's bike fit calculator is gone. Now they just have the usual charts. That's really too bad. Is there another one somewhere else?

Hmm, I thought I'd actually used theirs a few months ago for trying to come up with some stuff. Was it the one that had the Eddy fit and the French fit?

If so, then I think it probably did more to confuse noobs about what size bike they should get. It wasn't until I got quite a bit of experience that I understood what the three types of fit they talked about really were and how to base that to pick a bike.

Yes, that's it.

Apparently we where the only ones that used it! I did like going to it for some reference. But still, way back in the day, it left me more confused as to what I should get.
