My first thoughts when reading your original post. Not necessarily these and likely not all of them may be issues
1. Saddle too far forward on its rails.
2. Specialized states to level their BG saddles via the center not from end to end. As an example, we use an 8cm spirit level on BG saddles and set it in the center.
3. Bars too low. A rough estimate for a new to moderately new road rider would be about 3 to 4 cm drop from saddle top to bar top.
Just a few thoughts.
Great website Muirenn. I met Paul Swift of BikeFit the other day. Sincerely a good guy although a bit "rough around the edges." He knows his stuff.
