is there any guideline for reach to bar? for frame size PBH is used. could have distance from mid of seat post extended to center of top of bar. i think my frame is 59 cm hilsen (i think), not sure of PBH, i have dirt drop stem, handlebars are approx 1-2 cm above top of seat. i am 43, 6'0", 165 lb. i am suspicious that i would be more comfortable with bar a little closer, because riding on the hoods is the least frequent pos'n. most frequent is drops (by far). i believe there is no way to tell this, though, short of buying a new stem and trying it out.
