Thoughts on the geometry of this bike? Geometry notes are last item listed in manufacturer specs below. Anyone able to provide some input on ride and handling? I could only find one hands-on review for this carbon bike since the introduction of the 2019 model which is practically identical to the 2020 model.

The head and seat tube angles are not excessively slack, with 73-degree seat tube and 72-degree head tube angles on our 56cm review frame.
IDK, but this review made it sound nice; guess this is the one you read? Its fairly upright and long compared to a CX bike, which is what you typically want for gravel. 72 head angle would likely make it feel pretty nice on the road. It doesn't look extreme in any one area, and is pretty versatile...
