today i adjusted my seat just a little bit due to a strange pain in my knee. as for the height of the bars...it was fit for another person when i bought it. i actually like the way it feels. no pressure on my hands nor do they cramp. it's actually quite a comfy bike. i'm small in the sense of short. my torso is "normal" i suppose but i have short little legs. it's hard to find a "fit" straight up therefore i make adjustments as i go. i'm not spending a whole bunch of money to get the bike "fit" for me.
