My only reservation is the slack 72degrees head angle...

That's not really slack by today's standards... Even the tarmac SL8 is 72,5 for a size 52...

I'm 190cm tall so I don't usually consider the small sizes. In a 58, sl8 is a 73.5 and, yes, 72 is comparatively slack.

It’s so clearly a LARP of an aero bike.

Yes, in the bigger sizes you are right... But no reason to start throwing around insults  ;D At least our frames don't look so out of proportion  8)

Sorry if I struck a nerve about your vertical inferiority, TinyDinosaur. My bad mate, I forgot that short people can sometimes get really emotional about their height deficiency, I'll try to be more aware of this in future. Hope you feel better soon, buddy!

I always shake my head seeing lanky ass tall cyclists who look famished, while rocking the bone density of an 80 year old grandma. They'll break their hip if you tip them over! A taller cyclist aero position is a shorter cyclist's coffee ride position!

Being shorter, you can pack more muscle, higher bone density and have a more explosive power-to-weight ratio. Also like you said, our smaller bikes look way better!  ;D
