I figured out a few years ago that all my seats should be angled to the left. More comfortable. So I set them so the nose is just to the left of the left edge of the brake cable. (Centerline top tube routing like was common in the '80s.)
I do my stems like easyupbug (post
#4 ). On a build, I simple do not tighten fully until the wheel is on. Before that I don't care.
Oh, quill stems are far easier to align, especially long ones. 180 quills are a piece of cake.
