I think this frame is just a bit long but i got fitted by a very good fitter and he said the frame fits, it might just be the design plus i have long legs and a shorter torso. Right now I could afford to buy a new set of bars so I was wondering if that was a viable solution.

It feels alright when I have the bars higher but honestly i don't feel much more stretched when i lower the bars and i like the position alot. I'm not going to cut the steerer tube though because I want to be able to switch it up for centuries and such. When you lower your bars you shouldn't have to adjust your seat or anything else right, that doesn't change because the bar height changed?
