New build. Fit Nordstrom.1 instantly much easier to hold manuals. 20.75” what about this frame or bar setup (bars much lower/front load vs top load) makes manuals easier than my other bike? (Link to other bike in comments)

You mention that lower bars made the manuals easy. What’s interesting is that I felt the opposite going from 9 to 10 inch bars where manuals feel much easier to get into!
I’ve got a FBC Dugan1, front load stem, but flipped, and after going to a 9” bar, it takes much less effort to get up, but it’s so easy to loop out. My guess would be the rear stay length it what makes the difference.
