Sounds to me like your bike is too small. I think Rivendell actually gives pretty good fitting advice for the LD rider. Bike shops today seem to hang their hats on the "smaller is better" mantra that has been taken to extremes even for racing. A comfortable, uncramped LD bike is liable to be 3-5 cm. bigger than a typical racing bike for the same fellow.
