FWIW, when I first got the bike, riding the bike completely stock with a 100mm stem and drop bars, the reach felt WAY too long for me.
Of course you felt too stretched out. You didn't think you needed to ride some and give your body a chance to adapt to a new position on a new bike?

A stem of 100-130 mm and dropped bars would probably put you where you'll eventually want to be.
