I agree. I would especially expound on that point you made because as much as they would like to harken to their racing pedigree. The dropin headtube spacers would benefit from taller HT also as it would even make the front end more robust. There may be only a handful of racers racing non carbon non aero frames in any race, notwithstanding steel frames. Looking at their product launch - Ritchey themselves are now broadcasting their reach into younger riders who are not using their product for racing but for gravel and other functions especially on handlebars and such. Its a changing demographic - their clientele. Not sure they would get to a 60 anniversary frameset in 2032.
