My apologies if I didn't explain it correctly. The current setup seems to be far too much out of reach and the fitter explained I have a few options just to get by with the current bike which means a lot smaller stem and moving the seat forward a bit because right now I have it pushed all the way back. However for a good fit I need to go down to 55cm as a starting point and then make adjustments as needed.
