Got pics of bike?

As for reach, try rotating bars back a little bit, that'll bring the hoods closer to you. Might need a shorter stem.
I recently got rid of my toe clips, I am found having the ball of my foot on top of the spindle most comfortable with my knee just behind. My clips didn't allow my foot with shoes to get in far enough.
When I adjust my fore/aft on my seat to accommodate, I slide forward off my seat to adjust for reach. I could go back to using a 70mm 25° rise stem but then I fill unstable going down hills (too far forward?). I am not using the stock bars, so it isn't as easy as pull thing upwards. But I will see if I can tweak with my bars more.
