If your set is forward and you are behind KOPS by a lot... look into a zero setback seat post. That will move you forward quite a bit. Then, see if you need a slightly shorter stem (110mm or 105mm). Effective top tube length is the most critical length in fit. Well, more accuratly; reach is the most critical dimension. But, reach is difficult to measure, as it is constrained by head tube length and angle, as well as seat tube angle and the height of your bars and seat. But, for a similar model bike ETT length is a good starting point.
