Hi Seam,
If I used a seatpost with more setback on my AHH, I'd also have to
lower my saddle a bit to maintain the same distance to my pedals, which
would move my saddle forward a bit. A different stem and handelbars combo
would give you more reach for the buck.
Have you checked out the What Bars? website: http://whatbars.com/
Great for comparing handlebars.
I also ride a Berthoud Aspin on my AHH, which allows me to scoot my
butt back a little compared to the B17 Select I used before, but again, a
tiny difference, but my butt was much happier.
