I have no experience with that, either.
It's a build for a Florida triathlete. I'm sending it with a new (zero-setback) seat post and 3 stems to a shop there to let them fit it. My guess is once the saddle is adjusted, the stem will be lowered 10mm. If that doesn't work, the other stems are -17 degrees, range, 80,90,100. Her road bike is a 51cm with a 100mm stem.
The owner wanted a top-notch model of this, last offered in 2016 for $6000. I found a NIB lower-end model (same frame/fork/headset) and stripped it. Then I went after DA9000 or better and built it back up. With 2 sets of wheels, it will run $2500 less than the top model, have better parts, and be a full pound lighter.
It could be even lighter, but she'll be swapping wheels, so I stuck with clinchers, with braking surfaces, to make the swap easier.
Pretty sure the bike will always live above 20mph.
