You haven't mentioned the stem length. Is it very long? Your torso and/or arms may be very short for your height. Never use saddle position to adjust reach. Start with KOPS (knee over pedal spindle, look it up) and adjust saddle position from there according to comfort, power output ability, etc. After you get your saddle right, you have to adjust reach solely by stem length and up or down position.
