this is one of those things about road biking the bike molds you to it kinda funny but true I am a 235# 6'4" ogre and I ride both an old roady that was my fathers and I also ride fixed gear track bikes everywhere I wanna go I am currently working on a ss cyclocross bike and ya know I got a townie for grcery runs and a schwinn I inherited from my grandad

I would say flip the stem over so you have a rise or even get a roady with a long quill stem and then strt off high and work your way down that is how I didi it when I moved from bmx to road years ago is just slowly get my body used to the position
