Saddle position is set properly with regard to the crank and the pedals, not with regard to the handlebars. Your question belies an improper fit with too short of a combined effective top tube plus stem reach. The solution would be to set the saddle correctly for your leg dimensions, and then to:

a) specify the stem reach so that the bars/controls are a comfortable distance for your upper body to reach while pedaling, with your weight balanced and no numbness in the hands.

b) have an associate look at the frame size and give you honest feedback whether the bike is too small and cannot be rigged to fit.

Good luck.
