Thanks for the read. I’ve been eulogizing steep seat tubes for a few years now. Mine still isn’t steep enough. I’m also about the same height as you, maybe 192 cm abs have always gotten zero offset posts and slammed the saddle forward. Including my road bike which looks awful but feels better. When I built my own monster cross bike in 2013 I gave it a 74 degree seat tube which was considered steep for that kind of bike. I only wish I did 75 and also a long front center. I have a bike on order with a 78 (privateer 141) so I’ll see how that does compared to my current 76 ish effective.
