Strange...
I have lower back pain as well.
Our bodies, are not all alike, so I'm not trying to say your fit is wrong.
I have a long torso, & average length legs, so longer works better for me.
I often have a hard time getting a bike to fit right, not quite S/M (toe overlap), not quite M/L(not too much seat post exposed
). I usuall have to go with 54cm cause 53-53.5 is getting hard to find now. I need that longer top tub.
Enjoy that sweet ride!
