This has actually been my biggest justification for adjustable geometry and other stuff - as much as the Ride9 stuff on older Rocky setups created new possibilities for creaky points, and only came on stuff with tall seat tubes, I can't see a reason why I'd need to phase out my 2014 bikes for the next couple of years, and that was never intended to be a decade-long shred machine, it's just happened because I keep tossing upgrades at it.
Geo is the real limiter, because most everything else can be fixed aftermarket - angle headsets can do great things, but reach is reach (more precisely, pythagorean size of a front triangle is pretty immutable), and there weren't many options to get to what we consider the new normal
