Ok. Well, I guess I mean comfortable as far as seat position to pedals (height and adjust). I feel that it has always been too much reach, and so I have tried several different stems. Currently have a 90mm, 90* raised about 4cm.

I think I am gonna try to assemble the Bianchi on the cheap...give it a long distance try...and see where I go from there.

I need to find a 9 speed RD for it. Other than that, I think I can swap enough stuff to try. I was just wondering if I was on the right track with the shorter TT theory.
