I'm 5' 10" and I ride very "forward" on my bike- I sit about as far up on the seat as I possibly can.
I didn't really notice this until I took a small girlfriend of mine on a ride this weekend. She said that she was slipping from her perch behind the seat down into the seat itself. In other words, we were sharing the main seat because I was so far forward.
Since then I have been experimenting with sitting further back and I just plain don't like it. I don't feel as "connected" with the tank and my arms feel "stretched" instead of being in their usually bent and more comfortable position.
I know that different bars could bring my arms back into a more comfortable position while I am further back on my bike, but it otherwise just doesn't feel right.
I guess I just really like hugging up close to the bike.
Has anybody else dealt with this and come to a satisfactory conclusion?
