After I have adjusted my seat and my stem I have to admit it is sort of an awkward reach. I just feel like I shouldn't be leaning that far to be in my drops and I end up pulling back about .5-1" to rest my hands on my hoods. I was thinking of popping on the salsa short and shallow to remedy thr problem. Should I try a shorter stem? I do enjoy my bike ever so much but it is not women specific and I guess to make matters worse it is a touring bike. Any suggestions?>]
