Humans are adaptable monkeys and you can get away with riding small bikes and still have fun...but if you are 6'-2" and riding a 450mm reach 595 stack bike I think you are leaving something on the table. Choosing a 70mm stem is telling the bike doesn't fit you well. The geometry revolution isn't just a gimmick. Hey ride what ya want, I'll post my opinion. :)
Look at any size chart of a modern bike, and they do recommend a 450reach and 595 stack bike as fitting people in the 5'-7"range. Dont get mad at me lol
