what is your saddle to bar drop on the Venturi? From what I remember, it looks like 100-125mm. Nothing extreme, but certainly not an upright position.
You achieved this position without a ton of spacers, or a flipped up stem. Assuming that you are comfortable with that setup, I would say the frame fits you, and you didn't need to use band-aids to get a proper position.
