Default The "Fit" of Your Bike

Recent discussions with taller people regarding the cramped seating position of many of today's sport bikes led me to appreciate my 5'6" frame. As a result, I thought a nice poll would be in oder to help me assess what others feel about the "fit" of their bikes.

Think of your bike like a tailored suit. Did the tailor alter it correctly to suit your needs? What would you do differently?

[EDIT]
How tall are you? What do you weigh? Do you have any limiting physical conditions that would affect your riding position (you know, arthritis, back problems, goiter, etc.)?
