I have tried changing the angle of the saddle - it's slightly tipped up, as it has to be for me to not slide off the front of it. I had a similar problem with it perfectly level (it really is level front to back now, it just looks slightly tipped up), and was having major hand pain from the weight distribution problems.

The bars on this bike are even with to slightly above the saddle, so I'm not in an extreme racing position by any means

It really sounds like it just might be too short....
