Well it's not beating many people these days, but it rides smooth as glass. It's a great bike and I loved the looks since I bought it. Originally it was really pieced together for sale.

Not a bad looking bike, but, that saddle does not do it for me; the stem is a big riser with lots of spacers. Makes me wonder if this frame is sized too small for you. Also, pay attention to Hot or Not chain set up and wheel position for this tread

Nah, regular sized bike- it was a team frame for the giro d'italia that never got used. If you think that's wacky/ugly, check out the standard team bikes for those years: Pro Bike: Denis Menchov?s Geox-TMC Fuji Altamira - BikeRadar

What's the story with the 1x?

If flexibility is an issue - and I'm not saying it is or isn't for you, that's up to you - then size isn't the problem, geometry is. A larger sized I-assume-H2 Emonda would require an even shorter stem to fit you. Another frame with the same effective TT and a taller HT is what you should look for, hypothetically.

My 2016 Fuji Roubaix Ultegra, I know it's still stock but I am saving up for new set of wheels, weighs 18.9 as is with reflectors, lights, and computer.

For a short time I had a 58cm Scott but sold it because I was too big.
I'm an old man and feeling good is better than looking "pro" and uncomfortable.

Ah, my newness to the sport is showing. But knowing that Geox make street shoes - nothing to do with cycling - I figured they had to be a race team sponsor, and what came up when doing a search was a youth development team, not the pro team they used to sponsor.
What's the story with the 1x?
