Well I hope you are right and that it is my correct size.

I will try your suggestion but I got the Domane for this particular reason, it offers a more relaxed position over the Madone. One thing I did to try and solve this problem was to order a 90mm 17degree stem to replace the 110 7 degree stem. If this bike is the correct size I think the new stem should help relax my arms.
