You may not like my comment Datlas about your bike. But there is no way you can be close to a classic or average road bike position on that bike. To me this is classic custom bike sizing gone bad. You have to ride it bolt upright with that short a stem and top tube with your leg length. Don't care how short your torso is unless you don't have any arms.
Bet your back angle is 20 degs if that on the hoods. Can't put any power down and catch too much wind in that position.
Btw, I ride more upright than many good cyclists on the 41.
If you can do it, post a picture of you on the bike with your hands on the hoods to prove my point.
If you move toward a more traditional fit on a roadbike, the world of frame availability will open up for you.

I am interested in (some day) trying a CF bike...but custom geometry in CF is way too costly. So I want to have some "grounding" in current monocoque frame geometry language so I can look at a bike frame and determine if it's close to what I have...or not.
Generally the answer has been "or not" so far...
p.s. here is the geometry for my current Ti road frame...
p.s. wow that's a tiny image...click to enlarge
