69,5 is still quite steep and not really needed unless racing.
No really, 69.5 isn’t steep - check out the trek a few pages back at
72.Okay.
2 degrees slacker than this
Which would put the front axle a whole 17mm further forwards. If
that's all that's stopping you from going OTB, you be doing something
wrong.Disregard my previous ill-advised post. Just go for the Trek, you won't notice the difference. If you OTB check out @umop3pisdn beginners MTB-class. He'll teach you.

Remember this is an FS bike and the head angle stays reasonably constant as it goes through it’s travel - unlike a hard tail.
