^Just my opinion, which is as valuable as it is expensive.

Also need to give you props on the white saddle / stem. White bartape has never made much sense to me if you ride a lot, but this combination works aesthetically and practically as well!

Yes, on your saddle height that's exactly what I meant. It looks higher because of the sloping top tube. Still a nice drop to the bars though. Glad it works for you! Props! Do you ride in the drops much?
