Okay Pascale,

My nose is also behind the handlebars. The only time I feel like I am a little too forward is when I stand up to climb a hill.

My LBS told me that my Terry had three different saddle positions. They ended up putting me in the middle one. The front one was too forward for me, and with the back saddle position, I felt like I had to stretch too much to reach the handlebars.

Also, maybe you should try to ride the next size up - the 17.5"? I tried that size and with the seat in the forward postion, it felt okay. It is just that the 16" felt better.

I still say... get thee to a bike store that will do a professional fitting for you. Maybe you have a long torso for your height, but you won't know for sure until you are fitted properly.

Good luck!
