I do have long legs and a shorter body. Maybe a female thing?

Now need to ride it to see if it has worked!
I’ve changed a couple of months ago to bars with less drop and reach, and it has made an immense difference to my comfort on the drops. It now means I can reach the brakes/shifters when down, and I have less pins/needles in my hands when going long distance.
