I was using the rhetorical device of hyperbole. The main point is that if Foffa wants to make something more upright, the curved tube is silly; he just needs to do what all the road bike makers are doing on their sportive models by lengthening the head tube and shortening the top tube a tad, then open up the clearances a bit to take slightly bigger tyres. With a shorter top tube and bigger tyres, it's pretty much inevitable that you're going to want to kick the front end out a degree or two to avoid toe overlap, and with the hips rotated back by the high bars, a slacker seat angle will probably make sense too. Of course, he needs to get it in the shops within the next hour, before everybody pre-orders their On One Macinato.
