This might look stupid but I love the ergonomics.

As an old fart, I wanted to ride more upright, so I replaced the stem on my hybrid bike with a longer stem that had a shorter anterior extension and I love it! You could say I'm sitting pretty.

Yes, I'm pretty tall and have been riding alot since I did the switch-over and really love the ergonomics.
A previous commenter addressed the frame size and why I didn't just get a larger frame: it's a large frame, 25.5" measured in the classic manner to the top of the seat tube. The stand-over height is 34.5" which is...well...greater than my anatomy but I've always had that in bikes and it hasn't resulted in any visits to the urologist yet.
