Buying track frame may help, like the Dolan FXE where the largest model have a 74 degree seat angle.

Personally, I think your scenario might be worth looking into a bike fitting to ensure your next bike will be 100%.

My custom bikes (both of them) have the saddle slammed forward despite having a sensible 73 degrees seat tube, look a little off but still feel comfortable.

Hey Ed, I had a bike fit. Went to see Scherrit which was how I found out I needed the saddle so far forward.

I briefly built up a Precursa but the front was way too low and there's a ridiculous amount of seatpost on show.

What I would recommend is to make sure the saddle is set where you like it according to the measurement Scherrit gave you.

If it's fine with the 72.5 angle, then least you can able to look for frames that's between 74 to 72.5.
