For sure it looks like a bike that would be too small for you in many riding styles, but with that upright position it will be comfortable and you can get away with a shorter top tube frame
Youre right about good leg extension at 6 o clock position.
I tend to ride the bike pretty spirited around corners and obstacles. Its very smooth going over bumps out of the saddle. I specifically wanted the short top tube according to my preference for fit. It gives me enough space to lean forward during sprints or uphill climbs. I don't ride this bike like a cruiser most of the time..
I use it to commute mainly on pavement and gravel. Some dirt paths as well.
