I would say for me it is a hard stop since it is an all internal cable routing frame. I personally hate dealing with it. But that may be your jam so do want you want with that opinion.
As for the geometry, it is on the racier side. For me a 56cm top tube frame should be at minimum 580 stack and this one is under 570. Also I prefer a reach around the 385-390 and this one is almost 400.
Again if you want a racier fit then go with it. If you more endurance fit then this is probably not the frame for you.
Love the rim brake build though. Once everyone has bought a disc brake bike, the industry will need to switch back and sell everyone on rim brakes.
