I think that was the reason I was feeling uncomfortable on the two trainer test rides. Just reaching too much and leaning too far forward. Unfortunately, short of buying a new fork, that is the one thing that can't be modified.

I am bringing it back to my buddy tomorrow and will keep riding my cheap starter road bike this winter until something comes available (if anyone has something in a 54 or 56 they are looking to sell in the spring let me know). It doesn't make a huge difference on the trainer anyway.
If the bars are too low and too much of a reach you can usually move your seat forward, get a higher rise stem, shorter stem, or even riser road bars now. That might buy you an extra 2” of height on the front end.
