Roll Low entry

I'm 76 and wanted to get back into biking after a layoff of 20 years. Got out my Fisher Mountain Bike and found I could not swing my leg over the saddle and only with difficulty over the frame. Looked around, saw the Low Entry, test drove one and got a good buy on a Low Entry Elite. I changed the seat to my old Brooks leather and am very happy with it. I'm trying to recondition my butt, the longest ride so far is 12 miles. Can't really say too much about how it handles because my riding isn't what it used to be. I started riding a Raleigh Three speed at 12, later on had a Bianchi Road bike and always felt at one with a bike. Now I feel at three with it.

I know how to fit a road bike but am trying to find recommendations for fitting this. I've got seat height, tilt, and horizontal position down but am not certain that the handlebars couldn't be adjusted better.
