    Pixie,
    When I first started riding, I got a very short stem and had my saddle all the way forward, all because I felt the reach was way too long.
    I have found that the more miles i log on my bike, the more my core muscles strengthened and stretched, and the more I felt I needed to extend my "cockpit".
    Now, one year and about 4,000 miles later, I have a longer stem and my saddle is shoved all the way back... and I wish I could shove it an inch further back still.

    Don't underestimate how much your body will strengthen and stretch as you ride more miles.

    Wow! I am certainly going to do that.
    Did you push yourself back to lengthen or just let it happen naturally when you clocked a lot of miles?

    This is ground breaking news, and much much appreciated!
