That's a stunning looking bike 
        
 
         
         It would be the road that I would be using the bike for. 
         
        
 I may have a problem. Despite being reasonably tall at 5' 10" I've short legs with a 29 1/2" inseam. I sat on a new 690 Duke yesterday and it was tiptoe but okay with the bike being so light. The XTX is 40mm higher. 
         
        
 I'm now wondering if it'll be too tall? 
         
        
 Opinions? I need to try one.
