Wow, that long! I hadn't realized.
I only have one bike I've owned longer, the '85 Nishiki Prestige I bought as a frame set in 2009 or 2010 and built up after moving to Vancouver from Montréal....

Thank you. As I suspected, just a bit short/low in front for me. Stunning bike, but it *would* detract a bit if I had to put a 40mm setback post and an unduly tall stem in there...
