Also the 'reach' on the San Marcos is 356mm but the All City is 377.9mm, 21.9mm difference, and the San Marcos has 1.5* slacker seat tube ... so to recreate the same seat to pedal position I could move the seat forward as compared to my All City, but then it sounds like I will be a lot closer to the controls, a lot more upright? This seem right?
