Thanks all for the comments thus far. I guess I'm overthinking the set up thing, but I just wondered if I'm not missing any touring specific fit items.

One of the things that brought this thread to mind is if my saddle were mounted in the same position on the seat post as the road bike's the T bike's stem length would be a moot point. The saddle is mounted more forward on the T bike's seat post because of the slacker seat tube angle to get the same fit as my road bike. It just seems that in OEM configuration (Just a starting point for fit.) the T bike suggests I should be further behind the pedal spindle than with the road bike.

The aerobar question was only because I recently sold my last set of unused aerobars. I just don't think I'll need them on the T bike as I see that mileage in a different light compared to the road bike.

Thanks again for all of the helpful comments.
