Hi Nob.
I'm back on overtime so I'm falling a bit behind on the Daimler. But I have a plan for the weekend. Get the wheels and pedals installed, set the seat height at zero setback (cleats are on the new shoes and adjusted), and rough the position in on the bars and extensions, the target is about 5.5 inches of saddle to elbow pad drop.
I will have my wife take photos to see what my position looks like and adjust accordingly. Next up if I don't run out of time I will cable up the bars. Wish me luck.

Have A Great Week: Mike

Sounds like a good plan

Cockpit fit up has begun, saddle to elbow pad drop is 120mm, forearms are dead level with good control of the shifters, the seat nose is roughly 25mm behind the centerline of the bottom bracket, knees are close to my chest but breathing is not a problem, a good indicator that I'm close to the limit, I might also drop the seat about 5mm and see what that feels like.
Tomorrow sometime we will get in front of a mirror and see what the position looks like and take it from there.
NOTE: Not end item pedals, rough fit up only.

stop playing in mirrors, get a chain on it and get out there already. all this setup is great, but you sound to be pretty close to where you need to be, everything else is tweaks once you are riding it.

Lovely pedals keep them on

I will live to regret posting this photo...
So I'm close enough to a fit to put this thing together. The bars and extensions are comfortable, the saddle is on the extinction list as it appears to be designed by the Marquis de Sade...
The good news is I can spin the cranks and the position is not uncomfortable.
