New to Moisture - XL KHS Flite 720

What do you guys think of this bike? With a 600mm top tube and 110mm stem, it's one of the most aggressive fitting road bikes I've ever seen. The bottom bracket height of 267mm is also the lowest I've seen.

I'm amazed at how easily the bike pulls in both 39 and 53t front rings. Its not even that bad on climbs with only a 12-25t cassette.

I feel unsafe riding in the hoods due to not having enough leverage over the brake levers. I'll have to get used to riding in the drops. Would changing to a 90mm stem i got as a spare work okay if I angle the bars down a little more?
