Yes, what he said, for sure! A super good analysis of how to fold your body into a sports car. Both my inseam and sleeve length are 34. I used to be 5'11", but with my discs drying out, I have become shorter in the torso and now measure 5'10" only after my massage therapist unchains me from his rack. (Yes, guys, wait for it!)
To be simple about it, first I set the seat forward/back for easy and fast (and strong) access to the pedals. The seat up/down I then set for a comfortable knee bend and gentle thigh contact with the cushion -- air between my thighs and the cushion makes me nuts if all my weight is concentrated on my tailbone -- .
Finally, the rake of the seat back gets adjusted for nearly fully extended arms and an easy 8-4 or 9-3 grip. If things get fast and tense, the seat back comes up a little more vertical for a strong 10-2 grip, but that's the only change necessary. A little fooling around with the wheel tilt and telescope is okay, but nearly superfluous if I get the above three steps right.
