This is the thing; he put the saddle so far back, that the “advantage” of a steep seat tube is invalidated* when it’s set where a nominal seat angle with a straight inline pier will work just as well.
*some advantage is having the wheels very far forward keeping the wheelbase as short as possible**, which IMHO, a well designed front end geometry provide a bigger advantage than a slammed rear wheel.
**despite the picture showing a big gap!

wait i dont understand this. can you explain it a bit more? my seat tube currently is only 72 degrees and who is he lol

I see. The geo I designed has actually a shorter effective top tube than the one I have now. I actually feel a bit stretched out and way too far back. It has a more relaxed geometry 71.5ht/72.22st. I think I would really have fun on the compact and aggressive geometry I made. I think I would benefit from it a bit too. I wonder how the guy Matita24 mentioned uses his extreme geometry as a workhorse.
Have any of you guys heard of the Velove Torro? Apparantly it is a 77ht/77st frame.
