The things I highlighted in your post are NOT the things which are important, I hilighted them because they have NO bearing on what might be your optimum saddle position.
Of course, since you've already had a similar setup in both your prior bikes - that might be a good place to start./QUOTE]

I bolded that line simply to address your emphasis on what you're telling me isn't important. In my opening post I added those details to give potential readers some information about what my level of hardware experience is and that I'm seeking a potential solution.

I agree with the last part, that what seems to work for me on my other two bikes likely would be a good place to begin with this new one. Bike 'fit' is a concept new to me after all the years I've been riding. The nuances about fit that I've read about here since I fell upon BF two years ago have raised my expectations for what I might yet be capable of on a bike, particularly at my age.

Thanks BTW for your contribution this evening!
