also to be fair to all these bikes it should be noted that many companys;
Santa Cruz, Giant and idk how many others, are posting their effective seat
tube angles messured through the center of bottom bracket and seat collar
rather than the TRUE seat angle which is measured at the actual angle that the
seat post is from horizontal. i measured the new nomad having been stoked on
the idea of a 74.5 degree seat angle and come to find it is actually 70.5
degrees. its misinformation, unfair and slimey. my 07 nomad has a steeper seat
angle yet all these manufactures are touting their steep seat tube angles.
