I agree about the fixed stem, I'm all for minimizing weight & connection points.

My saddle adjustment is 'spot-on'...., but I still feel I have a little to much body weight up-front against the bars and my neck could be just a little better positioned to reduce long ride strain. Overall my 8.5 DS/22.5" frame has been a great match for my 6'-4" height, and I'm real close in getting that adjustment balance between my 64 year old legs, torso, and arm length for my style of riding.
