Cheers all. Did a quick cursory measure and surprisingly both bikes seem very similar. Seat tubes same angle, bars, saddle and bb same height to ground. Saddle slightly further back on new bike. Main difference is the new bars have much less reach to the drops, which I thought would be a positive since I always felt a bit too far stretched on old drops. I also moved the cleats a bit further back, think they were further forward than the other shoes. Just did a short slow climby ride to crystal palace, trying to take weight of hands. not sure yet.
Also, all glasses wearers will recognise the "looking with your head" thing, it's hard to find glasses that allow you to look up. Need some like snooker players.
