Whyte have been doing the short-stem shallow-ht-angle thing for a while ... and they handle really well.
It does look weird to roadies. But if you dial the rake and trail what are your really missing? The ability to tuck into a pace line? That’s not very important to most gravy peddlers.
Sure. I mention it as context. These bikes with 68° are a part of a progression of sorts. Whyte have had 70° cross/gravel bikes in their range for 4 years now I think and 70° is mental to me ;-)
