No...you're quite right....the very short wheelbase makes the bike look short and tall. It looks somewhat more proportionate in person vs that photo, but it is oddly proportioned compared to other bikes. The bars look clunky due to the thick cork wrap, but they're just regular flat road bars with bar ends.
All vintage, all the time.
