Interesting, I wrote the maker over the weekend and asked about that, but I asked if they could do an un-cut carbon fork. Does it have to be metal to go higher?
The head tube angle is 71.5 degrees. My position is pretty good right now. I'd say I'm in a moderate touring position. It's a gravel bike, and I want to set it up to be touring/gravel. Super close but just not quite right now.
