Assuming a 73.5° head angle:


Looks pretty good for a slight hoods bias. I'd say raise the levers a tad for more of a bias, or tip the bars down a fraction for an all-round compromise, and a bit more plus raise the levers back up a bit for a drops bias.

Although the fact you haven't included a pic showing the saddle-to-bar drop makes it a bit hard.

Oh yeah, this also makes em slightly less vulnerable to crash damage.
