And try a short reack handlebar bar. Velo Ornge sells the Dajia drop bar. see: Dajia Cycleworks Shallow Drop Handlebar - Handlebars - Components

Yeah, part of the reason I decided to basically build a new bike around my Fuji America frame is because I couldn't find anything modern that offered anywhere near its 60 cm seat tube with 56 cm top tube, and my body proportions are similar to OP only I'm an inch taller.
