Also keep the 130mm stem.

You look pretty good as is.



Remember, it WILL feel different than a road bike. Soon this will feel comfortable.

I'm headed out for a bit. I'll write more later, but XL was the right choice.

Hmm.. looks a bit long to me. Your back is pretty flat with very little bend in your arms. I'd say a shorter stem, personally, but stick with the XL frame. +1 on the 38cm bars, though. Definitely worth spending some time getting used to them before swapping them out.
