I also thought the proportions looked a little funky but I'm sure it rides great (like if Sam and Clem could have a lovechild). I'm guessing it climbs very well. The impression of a short top tube may be an illusion due to the lengthened rear triangle. The geometry chart lists the 55's tt at 58.3. That's almost a full cm longer than my 56 canti Hillborne (57.5 tt). My concern was that the reach was getting too long but I think an additional cm would feel just about perfect for me. The grips on the photo actually extend back farther than the Albastache does on my Sam.
