And as to bike fit, well it fits as well as a 1980s FREE second hand bikes ever gonna fit, I find its cmfy enuf although slightly large, but not so large I can't live with it, I actually think my saddle is too low as I don't get full motion so might put it up a bit, its getting to fond the swet spot. Between full motion and over stretching the legs...not as easy as it sounds funnnily enuf.
Get on the bicycle, ride a bit to get comfortable and build up some speed, then coast with your right foot in the 6:00 position (bottom of the pedal stroke). Put your heel on the pedal. You should have a slight bend in the knee. Check the other leg the same way.

That'll get you close to correct. From there you can do minor adjustments as necessary.
