I think what you mean to say, but couldn't quite piece together, is that Pdedes' has familiar proportions, which is probably due to the fact he has a build particularly suited to the Venturi, which he said is his best fitting bike, and which raises the question does he have more standard geo bikes which may look a little less typical?
If you are using a huge stack of spacers, and a riser stem, that frame doesn't fit the rider. You can achieve a good fit by using a bunch of spacers & a rider stem, but that doesn't mean that the frame fits the rider. It means that you adapted it to fit your ideal posture.

A proper fitting frame doesn't require those dramatic adjustments.
