^ While cleat position is #1 in terms of the sequence of fitting, I'll agree that the OP's scenario assumes the same shoes and pedals that he's using on the original bike.
Other unspoken assumptions:
1) crank length
2) handlebar shape - specifically reach, drop and width
So, the sequence is foot-to-pedal, pedal-to-saddle, crank spindle-to-bar (clamp), and then shifter/lever placement - bar pitch.
Iterations go from there on saddle pitch and stem variation, as well as bar pitch.
