Fitting myself to the v20

[Amehta]

I’ve mostly assembled my bike. But I feel my arms are highly extended almost in a straight line when I sit and recline on the seat. I tried Fred flintstoning in this position and lost control and fell because the front end is very twitchy.
How can I bring the handlebars closer? I see several holes where the pivot screw goes but can only use one of them. Is that what I should be adjusting? Maybe something is assembled wrong?
Attached is a picture. I cannot pull the handlebar back any more because then the holes in it won’t align with the bottom and I won’t be able to put in the pivot bolt.

On my Silvio you adjust the foot length till your heel just reaches the pedal at full extention. Then adjust the boom length till your thighs just touch the bars.

The problem with the 1st gen boom is that it has much more limited adjustment range - on top of being awfully heavy.
@Ametha please try to share a broader picture of your bike - ideally also one with you on it so we can better advise.

I'm pretty sure Robert Holler has video instructions on how to set up a Vendetta.
Your arms definitely should not be fully extended.
Your elbows should be at your midsection, just above your hips or just slightly more extended than that.

Thanks all. I’ll share a picture of my fit on the bike

Loosen the clamps on the bottom bracket and the quick release to allow articulation, then you should be able to align the bolt to your desired hole. It looks like the previous owner used the middle one. It’s a personal preference, but for best aerodynamics having your arms straight out like Superman while hammering is fastest. Beginners often prefer bent elbows. You then adjust the yellow boom length by sliding it in or out of the silver slider until you have a slight knee bend at that leg’s maximum extension. Then tighten the quick release and clamps. Don’t over tighten and break it.
