The STA in isolation isn't that slack - I don't think I framed that as a real problem here? Slack-ish.And worth noting I'm not particularly prone to the challenges of people with large inseams and slack actual STA's.
But you can't look at any geometry number in isolation; take a somewhat slack STA, add some stack height, relatively short reach, and your center of mass is positioned rather near the rear axle when things get particularly steep. The new Hightower is a full 20-something mm longer in reach, and has 25mm less stack height.
