mostly @ edmunro: ^ turn the seat post 'round then...? Bikes used to have their seat clamps at the back of the saddle, no reason why you couldn't do it to reduce the stretch...

I could think of some...

Do you think it's fair to change the seat angle (saddle position front/aft) that much to get the reach right ?

Usually, first you set the saddle right hight and ref. to the BB-axle).
Then, you find out the right stem length and bars poition.
Not the other way 'round.

But of course, you can try ot.
Perhaps it works (apart from the looks).
