If you see the hub in front of the handle bars you are too far forward, if you see it behind the bars, you're too far back. Just a guideline, hope this helps.
Yes, that helps a lot, thank you!

I rode a Giant OS3 today to get an idea of size and the XXS fit me much better than the Terry did yesterday, I didn't feel as though I was too far forward on it, although I'd have to upgrade to the OS1 to get the brakes/shifts that can be fitted to my paws. What a difference in ride from my comfort bike - wow! Even so, I'm still drooling over that Bianchi Giro!

Until then, I will do what I can with my comfort bike - I did replace the big 'ole cushy saddle on it today, so hopefully the change will take away some of my sit bone and hip pain.

Thanks for the advice, everyone!
