What were you riding before? How you're pushing your seat back makes me think that this bike probably has a steeper seat tube angle than you're used to - a lot of small bikes and WSD shorten the reach by rotating the seat tube forward. For whatever reason, I hate it, and am really unhappy if i'm on something with a 74-75 degree seat angle. I tend to try to get bikes with a 73 or 73.5 and I still run a seatpost with a setback.


If your inseam is 27.5 inches, I think you probably didn't need a WSD.
