I was reading Peter White's bicycle fitting guide (for DFs naturally.)
http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/fitting.htm
The most quoteable sentence is "Remember that a bicycle fit is a series of compromises."
After reading the article, I have come to the conclusions that on recumbents there are much fewer
compromises. It seems so much simpler to fit a recumbent. On a recumbent.
1. Make sure your bike is sized to accomodate your X-seam.
2. Make sure you have the correct crank length (Which I think is very important.)
3. Seat the seat distance.
I am have not listed the seat angle, because this is a matter of preference and is not critical.
For DF, it seems like you have to figure out all the trade-offs.
