What is considered a "normal" bike/geometry?
One that fits the rider. If people were normal, that would resolve to 56cm square with an 11cm stem, but people come in different proportions and with different ranges of motion in their joints. @HHC really meant a pursuit or TT bike with drop bars when he said "normal", because drop bars were normal on pursuit and TT bikes before Lo Pros were invented.

You're right and @mdcc_tester has explained this numerous of times before.
To illustrate, here is a (close enough) lo pro with a 700c front wheel and horizontal toptube:
Though I do still have a question @mdcc_tester might be able to answer.
