Help me pick apart this Tallboy build

I'm not buying the sizing argument yet
I'm 5'11" and others have told me I should be on a XL. I have a very short torso, so the L fits me.

When I demo'ed a Tallboy in XL, I found the rear end, rear triangle felt a little flexy
Mine is not as stiff as my 429 or El Rey, but I wouldn't say it's whippy.

I'm going to put a carbon Lefty on mine in the near future. I also have Edge AM wheels. I will still be spanked by others with much less expensive steeds. The TB does have a creamy/dreamy ride.
