Reach dilemma on my trekking bike
I have a reach dilemma on this bike. It is 51 cm frame size and I am 1.73m. On paper, it should suit my size. I'm quite sure I found the ideal seat height but my elbows get almost locked while riding. When I move the saddle forward to relax my elbows, my knees gets ahead of the pedal spindle at 9:15 position. Only reason I can think of is that I have a short torso. Should I try a shorter stem? Currently it has a 100mm stem.
Additional info: My inseam is about 88 cm.
