>>1357416The saddle should be at an optimum position for delivering power through your legs and through the pedals. This means the length from the saddle to the bottom of the pedal stroke should be slightly shorter than your fully extended leg. And remember that legs are quite long.
Also yeah, as others mentioned, aero. With a high saddle and low handlebars you can get into an aero position - instead of sitting upright, your body is sort of positioned like a dart. This is why drop handlebars exist as well. Get the front of your body (head, shoulders, arms) as low as possible so your torso is like a dart, piercing through the air. If you sit upright then your torso is like a brick wall, aerodynamically. Which slows you down.
And actually I think aero bars (pic related) are more aerodynamic than drop handlebars so maybe I shouldn't be going on about drop handlebars being aero. Drops are probably still more aero than positioning your hands on the tops of the bars, though, I'm sure.
