Do you still have the old bike? Try comparing the riding position and the geometry. Remember the Dolan PC is normally a dedicated track bike so it's geo is probably more on the aggressive side.
I have a large seat to bar height drop on my bikes due to my leg length which doesn't help much. I suspect a full on custom build frankenbike with a long seat tube and short top tube would be the answer for me!

That's most likely the issue. You probably need to get the saddle further back to take the weight off your hands. Can you lift your hands off the bars when you are riding along in your normal position? If not, too much weight on them. But a fitter who sees you will know best!

I don't have the other bike anymore. I bought a small frame size for the Dolan PC, I got a 50cm, while I'm 5'7. I think I also made the mistake of getting a stem size that is 1cm longer than the one that comes with the 50cm frame. I hope the bike fitter will fix these issues. But I start to think it could be a problem of too small frame size, as I don't think I could raise the handlebars more since the head tube is shorter on this frame. Perhaps a seatpost with bigger setback could help.

I was riding a chromoly 430 bike before and didn't have such issues. The Dolan PC is a triple butted aluminium frame and it is very stiff.
