Hi again, the final adjustment was having the new saddle moved back to it's rear most position and the stem lowered 10 mm, not shortened. Lowering the stem, taking into consideration the steering tube angle, actually increases the reach. Hope you can find a bike to check out, the reality today is that most bikes sold are all very good, it's just a matter of finding the one that fits, that best suits your style and where you like to ride...
Cheers
