This felt really awkward to me, so I exchanged it for a 60, which now has a 90 mm stem (down from the stock 110), saddle centered on the seatpost clamp (so maybe 2-3 cm of setback), and a "big fistful" of seatpost. The saddle-bar drop, I'd guess, is no more than 4 cm.
At any rate, it feels good to me.
It sounds like you are still questioning whether that frame size is right for you or not.
You should go to a professional bike fitter in your area.
You may remember me asking if mine was too small a little while back.Well I'm going to a fitter tward the end of Dec or early Jan.
My questions will be answered.I was quoted a price of 120+ cost of parts if any be needed.Add another 60 if I want him to fit my cleats.
To me that's cheap for answering my questions in person, by a person who comes highly recommended and has 20+years of fitting experience.Not some dude that may have been at the bike shop for 5 or less years and is repeating what everyone else has told him.
