You give a lot of advice about fit, but as I look at your bike, honestly, it doesn't fit my paradigm of correctness by any stretch. Your saddle has too much downward tilt and your handlebar is rotated too far back rendering the hook position less tenable...and your hoods are rotated rearward basically compensating for being too stretched out.
Just wanted to say. So your fit is far from any accepted norm certainly even though you believe it may work for you. My personal belief is you would be happier with further refinement. Just my opinion.
Congrats on the new bike. Love the new Roubaix...my favorite new bike because of its versatility out on the road as few roads are billiard smooth in my experience.
PS: at almost 6'1"...we are the same height...on a 56 with 110mm and your hoods rotated rearward and quite high, you ride very upright for spirited riding...really what I consider no man's land for a guy your...or my size.
