Ok fair enough. I went for 73° with rigid forks, it should be alright with 75° rigid to make it 73° with Sus forks

I guessed so. But think it might be best to start with the slackest angle you want to have - easier to move yourself back with a layback post if its too steep with rigid forks than to move yourself forward if it's too slack

75 deg will reduce the ETT quite a bit though? Reach will be the same but the bike will be 20-30mm shorter dep on saddle height?
Wont the current 73 with rigid forks end up the same with suspension forks when compressed? Looking at your drawings you have based the Suspension geometry on static forks. Once in use the forks will be 20 - 30% shorter (not a fan of super steep seat angles when they compromise overall length of the bike).
Oh and love this thread btw 😀

The seat tube looks kinda slack compared to the front end. Even if you don't want to go new skool most bikes seem to be around 73 with the suspension forks. But you can prob ignore me #armchairbikefit
