I wouldn't adjust reach by moving the saddle a lot fore and aft; set the saddle to a good position for the cranks. Use stem to adjust the reach. Normal stem lengths for road bikes are something like 8 to 12 cm, but I have seen shorter ones and longer ones used. Stock bikes often come with 10 or 11 cm stems. - Jim
