You like it so thats all that matters.

Back in the day, bikes tended to the bigger size seat tube wise. I remember the Varsity in the early. 1970s coming in 22, 24. and 24 inch frame size. Typical was about one hand width worth of seat post showing. I was sized to a medium, 24 inch. Now I am comfortable on a 21 1/2 inch. Sold my 24 inch bike years ago.

I like dirt drop style stems for comfort too. Its one reason I am attracted to the drop bar conversion on a rigid frame MTB.
