I hope your new bike does fit you and is the correct frame size.
My first road bike was an ill fitting mess that was two frame sizes too big for me. Sold to me by the lbs. Only good thing about that situation is that is how I found TE- looking for help.
There are many options with the bars and stem that can help dial in your fit. For different types of riding, I have my bikes set up differently. I also find that when I have been riding one bike more than the others it feels a little weird switching it up.
There is nothing wrong with having your bars higher up on a roadie. Even if you start out with your set up higher maybe you eventually lower it as your body adjusts. Just some food for thought.
Good Luck.
