53cm?
I say that half in jest because your question doesn't make much sense to me. Your new bike has a longer top tube and a longer stem, so if you want the same 53cm distance as your old bike, you would have to jam your seat forward. However, you said you realize you will have a longer reach on your new bike, but then what does 53cm have to do with anything?
If you want the same setback on your new bike, then measure your old setback and try to match that on your new bike by using a post that will get you there. Since your new seat tube angle is slacker, you will be farther behind the bottom bracket if you use your old post. If your old post had some offset to the rear, you need a post with 0 offset or some forward offset.
