At least do the heels on the pedals drill or go into your HMO and tell them you want to be measured (height) accurately, in your bare feet!. When you get your saddle to the proper height I don't believe you will still want to lower your handlebars. In fact, you just might want to raise them!
There is a pic in this thread showing the stem height. It is as high as it can go. I am thinking about lowering it 2 spacers which will be near the middle. I think I am sitting too upright.
If my wife can get time and not be exhausted she has promised to take pics and video. She manages a hospitals ORs so I cut her a lot of slack.
