So far so good, but Iād like to see you spin just to see the angle your thigh tops out at.

Looks good, you could probably do with an increased reach. For the best road bike fit, make sure you can bend your elbows about 15Ā° and comfortably hold that position.

Surprisingly you are already well fitted to that bike. Leg is correct bend and arm/back angle is about correct. I would bend those arms a bit for shock absorption but that’s about it.

Looks good to me.

If it were me I think I’d end up going just a hair higher with the seat, not a lot. Frame looks good. I’d also double check to be sure there’s enough seatpost in the downtube, not just trusting a “max” line that might be stamped on it but pulling it out to be sure. Lots of old bikes have seatposts that someone cut shorter to save weight.
