Oddly enough, my bike is also a Roadmaster, just not a step through...

This is my first bike on which I think I’ve got the seat adjusted right, though I don’t know if I have the right crank arms...

I hear that the seat needs to be adjusted so that at the bottom of the pedal stroke your knee is almost straight... with it set like this, I can *just* touch the ground with one foot...

Also not sure about stem(part that connects handle bar to fork?) length, but mine is whatever came stock on the bike, though I’m considering changing the handle bar(either by cutting/welding/bending or buying new) to something more aerodynamic and ergonomic
