Thanks for the response.

Usually I hear people talk about KOPS, but you are saying to get your center of gravity over the BB, not your knee over the pedal spindle?

I am 71.25 inches tall with a 32 inch true rider's inseam, both without shoes on. I have a long torso and short legs. It is my understanding that people with long torsos for their body need longer stems, and people with longer limbs for their bodies need shorter stems.

Im wondering if I need a longer stem. I know with the standard setup of the hoods being level with the top of the handlebars, I have to bend my wrists up to have my hands on the shifting levers in the drops.

Thanks for the help.
