I used to always ride with my butt hanging off the back of my B17s. I didn't think too much about fit- I'd push the saddle all the way back on the rails, use a 9cm stem, and everything felt fine. Then I ended up on a bike with a really long top tube and loved the fit (turns out I have really long arms, which also explains why my shirts don't fit right). With enough reach, I find myself having two positions on a B17- almost on the rivets and further forward. It's nice on long rides to be able to shift positions a bit.
Maybe try longer stems/more setback until you don't feel like you need to push your butt back too far on the saddle?
