Re: Probably the 1 millionth bike fit thread, sorry [Tri_Joeri]
You have the foundation of a decent fit. With the obvious caveat that the way to do a proper fit is on a dynamic fit bike, there are some things you might end up changing if you were to go through that process.

1. Your seat might come up. It is probably on the low end of an acceptable range right now.
2. Your bars might go out, but again, cockpit distance is personal and yours is well within the range of where some riders prefer to be. On the tight end, but nothing dramatic.
3. You could probably ride a bit lower, so that stem might be a good experiment. Watch your power, or inherent sense of pedaling ability.
4. You might swap saddles and get a little more comfort and forward rotation. You are sitting back basically like riding a road position, and that would likely change. This would change your seat height, distance to the bars, and the drop you could tolerate, so while I list this 4th, it would really be the place to start. First learn the posture, then set the rest of the bike up around a properly rotated pelvis.
5. Learn to relax the upper body, allowing the upper back, neck, and head to drop down between the shoulder blades. Don't pull yourself down, rather think of it as an "upper body slouch". Basically everything you know about good posture while sitting or standing, forget it.... slump. Like a drunk at a bar after one too many.
