I meant to say that the steerer height above the head tube was quite generous. Head tube height is just fine--it matches what it would have been in steel. My CAAD10 is a 63cm and the head tube is appropriately tall.
Yes it should function well. Would look better if the shift cables were under the bar tape but I can live with that. I was told it was a 2012 by the person I purchased it from but I think it may be a 2014 looking at the serial number and catalogs? I hope so. That would make me feel a little more safe anyway. Barely any blemishes on the frame set , looks almost new.
