Are you coming to it from a proper race bike? The 765 geometry is very much "tourist too fat and rich to carry luggage", it's going to take some adjustment if you're used to race bikes.

Ah good question, I should have included that. it's actually my first "proper"road bike. My main bike was a Cinelli Tutto plus size M for some time. I rebuilt it with drop bars and a cx carbon fork. I'm also riding MTBs (a staton Sherpa and an XC bike with a pretty aggressive geometry), a cinelli Vigorelli and my cargo.
I laughed out loud at you description of the geometry 😂 it was actually pretty comfy while bikepacking

Has anyone rode a 765 optimum plus ?
I've ridden mine for around 2000km and Im having pretty mixed feeling about it...
Not sure how to describe it but I find it lacks rigidity, not super quick to respond. The turning is pretty weird too, you have to really lean to get it to turn. I feel like the front end is lacking precision
.
As for the build, aluminum cockpit and seatpost, carbon wheels, 38c tyres about 3/4 bars for 85kg rider.
It's a size large https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/look-765-optimum-2022-1/
Am I crazy and trying to justify a new bike ?
