I've started fine tuning the set up on the SS & was wondering if there is a guide to setting up the bike saddle height, saddle position, drop bar angle etc anywhere as it's all so different to MTB?

    That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Initial setup at first attempt after following that seams comfy enough.

    First of all, think in terms of correct saddle height and correct fore and aft adjustment. Fine tune adjustment with test rides. Note that a saddle should be horizontal, but some claim that nose slightly pointing downwards is acceptable.

    Note also, that cranks come in different lengths. That stems come in different lengths and can be set at different heights. And that bars come in different shapes and widths.
