I had a few bicycles that were 4cm too large for me. I could have bottomed out the saddle and made do but decided it looked dumb and sold them. I used the money I made to buy a bicycle that fit me and I don't regret it one bit.
I may try to fiddle with it before abandoning all hope, but you may be right. Thank you for the input.
