It should handle like a psychopathic weasel on speed. We know you are not tall, the 48cm frame is a clue. It is normal for smaller frames to be steeper, but you might want to back off those angles a little. I have seen overlap like that cause half the front spokes stripped out by a clumsy starting effort, complete with faceplant.
