While mine is not "way" forward, it is somewhat forward, but changes as I change my position on the bike. However, I feel as though too much weight is on my hands and mine sometimes get numb also. I'm going to re-set my seat with a slight tilt up, it's perfectly level now, and if that doesn't help, then I'm going to take my butt into the LBS for a proper fitting.....I'm reasonably certain the bike is the right size, and I'm stuck with it at any rate, but the stem could be a tad long.
