Emonda's are hotness. But your seat is super nose up?
And stand over height on a compact frame means nothing. Hell, stand over height means almost nothing on a traditional frame either... Glad you got it sorted.

It's maybe a bit slower than the Altamira due to its compact crankset

You realize that for when you're actually pedaling, the difference between a compact crank and a traditional crank is like... being up one gear on the back, right? The only time you notice any disadvantage from a compact crank is spinning down hills, so just spin faster. Unless you're a racer or can keep up with the racer crowd, I see no point for a recreational rider to have a 52T chain ring. Seriously. The terrible uphill riding I've seen from old chubby men on $5000 bicycles with big chain rings and 11-28 cassettes because they're too proud to get the lower gearing is sad. I'm rocking a compact crank and 12-30 chain ring. I can still spin to 40 on the descents and make it up hills on the bad days after I've bonked; I'm good with that.
