Is that Merckx for a first time rider? Is it before a proper fitting session has been done?
Honest questions - based on the stack above the headtube and the pedals.
I do not condone 'slamming the stem' just for the sake of doing so, but I also believe that too much stack either means a fit has not been done or the wrong frame was chosen.

Otherwise, it looks nice and has a lot of potential.
