New bike fit concern

[Megustalaplaya]

Thank you for everyone's responses.

The bike shop really didn't fit as far as measuring. When I went in and told them I was interested in the Lexa both people that helped me just looked at me and recommended the 50cm as they thought the 47cm might be too small. The last person who sold the bike to me let me ride both bikes and told me that the main difference between the two was the top tube and it wasn't a huge difference. He said to ride both and determine which is more comfortable. Not being on a bike in ages and being excited about getting a new bike...well....they both felt great! The bike I choose was quieter so I think that was my deciding factor.

I took the bike out last night and didn't notice being too stretched out. But again, I'm not sure what I'm "supposed" to look like or feel? I am noticing my palms are feeling the pressure of the bars though. When I stopped at a light I noticed I can straddle without touching the top bar if my back is touching the nose of the seat.

Speaking of seats...my seat is definitely lower than my handlebars. Shouldn't the seat be higher? I do want to add this bike has the H3 fit which is supposed to have a back and neck saving feature of sitting a bit more upright than a more aero position.

I may go back to the shop and ride the 47cm again. Not sure if the LBS would let me switch bikes at this point. I've put about 30 miles on the bike already.
