Don't be afraid to change your handle bars, your seat , your seat post, your stem to get the bike dialed into "you". These things are all really cheap to buy.
IMO, most bike today have a set of generic flat bars or drops that are really right for no one. In fact, I think it's an insult to the customer base to force them to ride crappy bars and seats.
