yeah, I know it's best to get a fit done but (a) I don't have the cash right now, no matter how much I may want to and (b) I'd also simply just like to learn a bit more about it - for instance, what would the implications for comfort and handling be if you place the rider either further forward or further backward on the bike.

Do you have a spirit levels or have access to one? while measuring tape is great, the spirit levels make it a lots easier to make sure your saddle have the right setback as your other bicycle as well as the saddle/bar drop.

But mdcc_tester's right, the bike fitting service is worthwhile in the long term, especially when they will give you the fit sheet to allowed you to replicated the set-up on a new bicycle, and probably can explain the fit better than most of us.
