I set the seat height to lowest pedal distance to be the same between the two bikes. It was originally higher and it feels better in its current position. The fore/aft of the saddle is set so the plumb line from below my kneecap goes through the pedal spindle. All of the spacers are underneath the steering stem which is the way it came from the factory. On the Mendota, i had to get a stem riser to give me another inch and a half of rise there to get it really comfortable for me. Now it's golden. Any pointers on what else I might look at to adjust would be appreciated.
