Hello, Some Biomechanics article, recommends to position biker (saddle height and backward) in manner to obtain a 135 - 140 degree between femur and tibia bone when pedal is at bottom (die) position. In the same way, position (the front leg) around 105 – 110 degree between femur and tibia bone, when pedals is parallel to the road. It’s seems is a good practice method to obtain an efficient and right (neutral) position.
What do you think about this? 😉
I'm apologizing for my bad English. (I leave in Switzerland and English is not so frequently used).

Ciao Matteo🙂
I wouldn't mind reading this article, however that sounds like it would put the seat height much too low. Rather I'm under the impression that, when the cranks are even with the seat tube, the angle of 150 degrees is closer.
I'm thinking that you would have trouble aligning your kneecap over the pedal axle (with the cranks parallel to the ground) with a 135 - 140 degree angle between the femur and tibia.
