Not as much as i expected. It was more just an eyeball of the seat height and call it good.

Generally, that should be enough to get you going (along with the correct stem and handlebar sizes). You need to build a general level of fitness and core strength. Pay a bunch of money to say you stem needs to be here, and soon after you have more core strength and now the stem can be lower, etc...

Key right now is just get out riding, build some riding skill, try not to crash, and start adding the miles. Make sure to spend at least 10 minutes stretching after your rides. Leg muscles can tighten quick and lead to back problems...

That was the plan. Right now the rising is to supplement some of my running and just keep my current fitness level where it's at. I'm sure eventually I'll look at some competitive races and such.
