The cannibal was indeed famous for his obsession with bike setup, to the extent that it occasionally effected his performance. I recall one particular film where he set his saddle height and levelled it. And then repeated the excercise a few minutes later, like he thought it might have moved. He didn't actually get on the bike in between adjustments - he just did it twice.
There's a big difference between getting your position right and getting totally anal about milimetric differences. It's kind of amusing that riders will spend ages fiddling with seat adjustments, and stick with an off the peg bar. How can two different be in the right position on the tops, hoods, drops and hooks with exactly the same bar?
