Do you think we could get some of the benefit of steeper HTA by shortening our cranks? When I looked at the GIF of you on the Evil vs the Geometron, it seems like you were pitched forward on the bigger bike. But a closer look at your knees show it dropping dramatically on the larger bike.
I have a 75° STA, and 175mm cranks. I also have very short legs (28.5" inseam). I've been toying with the idea of shorter cranks, mostly for reduced pedal strikes, but I wonder if some of the benefits of a steeper STA might accrue as well?
