nice bike... some cosmic carbones would go nicely with it I think. With the yellow stickers ... they scream "big powerful rider on your right!" with the intimidating noise. they'll also stand up to your weight/power.

Nice bike very nice indeed.
There is nothing wrong with lowering your handle bar/stem.
Just try it.
But don't try 15mm at once just try in steps of 5mm at the time.
And don't shorten your stem before you are sure!
I am almost same size and weight and I ride a 13,5cm drop.
It all depends on what you experience as comfortable.
BTW 7.7 kg is a real good weight for this beauty.
But I think it’s a bit on the optimistic side.
For a guy at our size and weight it’s no use to go extreme light.
Except in case you like breaking your stuff.
Our weight and size asks for different/stronger materials and these are usually a little heavier.
I consider this a nice and well thought thru bike set-up.
My bike is Italian so it is Nervosa and of course has Anorexia I like them thin!
