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 will have to look for a good photo of me on the bike but I guarantee you this fits me properly.
p.s. When someone as knowledgeable as Harry Havnoonian agrees with the design of my frame, I think that speaks volumes that the geometry is correct for me.
