The reach still feels a little long.


The seat height I got dialed in using the LeMond formula


my kneecap is right over the spindle
That looks pretty good. Try moving your saddle back as far as it goes. That should help with the weight on your hands. Knee over pedal spindle is only a starting point, not an end point. You will probably have to raise your saddle just a hair.

Also try to roll your pelvis forward, which will straighten your back and make you more comfortable in the long run.

I don't think moving the saddle back will change your position enough to make other changes necessary, especially since straightening your back will move your shoulders forward.

I see no reason to change anything else. This is about what it's supposed to look like. Nice fit.

If you have discomfort on the bike other than a sore butt, fix it by stretching and strengthening, rather than bike adjustments. Getting stronger is better for your health.
