Miss FlyLady: that position looks fine to me, even though it's not an actual fit-generated position. if it's good for you it's good for me. just, i will eat my hat if those pads are anything close to 710mm above the BB along the Y axis. i would guess it's more like 610mm.
obviously you can ride a cervelo because, er, you're riding a cervelo! in that video. so, it looks to me like that's your bike! (i don't see any reason why that bike in that size won't work.)
i take it from the commentary going on during the video that you'd like your saddle to be slightly lower, but the seat post is bottoming out into the frame, and the shop dude said he'll cut the seat post down a little for you.
the only other thing i'd suggest is that you milk this a little before you buy the bike.
1. is the saddle comfortable? don't leave without a saddle you like. get that fellow to swap a saddle out, or really sharpen his pencil on the upcharge to the saddle you want.
2. are those the aerobar extensions you want? if not, then get a shape that's comfortable. it's going to take a bit of doing on a mechanically shifted bike to swap in a different extension, so, get that done before you fork over your credit card. if you want to go really hoity toity, look at these. veerrrrry comfy. probably get the new shorter size.
3. if you take that bike home, and you want to make a change in the fit, that aerobar comes with a LOT of bolts and pedestals. get them all. they're all yours when you buy that bike.
4. what else do you want? head unit? radar? new pedals? new shoes? work the deal.
5. and finally, if the wheels and tires are tubeless ready, get the shop to just make them tubeless. pull out the tubes, put in the tubeless valve, put in sealant, and go tubeless. that's what all the cool kids are doing.
