I'm 6 foot 2ish with a 35in inside leg. My frame is 61cm ctc and 57cm tt.
I am finding it hard to reach the horizontal bar of my drop bars with an 80mm stem. I have my seat as forward as it goes but I still constantly have to hunch over and reach into a slightly uncomfortable position to hold the bars, usually ending up resting my fingertips on the bars for comfort so I can sit a little more upright.
I am about to buy a zero reach stem to hopefully fix this annoyance.
Am I doing it wrong? If so, what should I do instead?
