im same height, same model flyer, 54, altough i may have slightly longer legs than you as i have ok clearance straddling top tube. I put my saddle forward from the standard when i got it as i like sitting more upright. if you sit more upright you get less weight on your arms and hands so try putting your saddle a cm or so forward and see how you feel. Alternatively you can raise the handlebars by inverting the stem (standard points slightly downwards so that will raise your riding position a bit).
