Out of curiosity, what seat angle your custom hardtail is sporting?
I believe that for a HT going beyond 75.5° is pushing it over, while for a FS bike this should be the minimum (a real STA is also to be considered when judging the real effective steepness).
I'm in AJ's height territory so the stated above might not be suitable to someone in a smaller frame size bracket.
