It does look much better with deeper wheels! I also think the low angle from which you are taking the photos makes the bike look taller. Congratulations on the new bike!

I have a size 58 BMC RoadMachine02 and it looks pretty sweet...it was already designed around having a taller headtube, so it doesn't look out of place like a lot of purebred race bikes do when they are in their largest sizes.

Hello, yes i agree. And as i said in another thread a photodatabase of larger frames/bikes would be useful.

So here for example an impression of a BMC roadmachine 01 in frame size 58:
