Hmmm.... the competitive cyclist tables are always off... anybody has noticed that?

Ok, frame looks like the right size but you have like serious bad things in the position...

1st thing get the right saddle height... inseamx0.883.. in your case if you got the inseam right it should be around 30.5 inches from the center of the BB to the top of the saddle following the center line of the seat tube. This is the starting point.

2nd thing.. grab a string and a weight at the tip of the string and drop the aplomb from the tip of the saddle to the ground, move the saddle back untill you get like 5 cms between the center of the BB and the string. This is another starting point.

3rd thing... I'm almost sure you will need a new seatpost because that seatpost is aero and you can't get it lower enough. I'm convinced you moved the saddle all the way front to be able to reach the pedals correctly because you cant lower than seatpost no more. So far im sure that you have to lower the seat post. That seatpost has to go if you cant lower the saddle to the number im telling you.

4th thing, flip the stem and take a picture (for the record the size of stem for you is minimum a 10 cm, optimal maybe 11 or 12)

5th take a picture and post it here to see how it goes.
