Hi, I have recently purchased a Rose Pro SL 2000 bike which is my first road bike after saving up for the last 3 years!, Any way the size of the bike is a 53cm which is perfect for me but I'm feeling the need to stretch a little further when I'm leaning forward in the drops. When I'm in the up right position on the hoods I feel very comfortable but its just seems a bit cramped leaning forward and often feels like my bum is having to slide back on the seat when I'm really pushing hard on the legs in high gear.
So the question is would a longer stem help me gain this additional distance to accommodate my position in the drops?. The current stem length is 90mm, so I can easily go longer. Or do I need to look at the position of the seat (i.e and offset seat post?) to gain the additional distance.

thanks in advance
