I think it's to keep the comment boxes from getting too narrow to be readable (as they are on some sites). If you just scroll up to the last REPLY button you see in a thread it will post that comments chronologically so it keeps to the conversation logic. Works Components makes ZS49/EC49 Anglesets. Link to the -2° [**HERE**](https://www.workscomponents.co.uk/20-degree-zs49-ec49-angle-headset---to-suit-tapered-steerer-tube-347-p.asp).   Yeah, Geometron/Nicolai bikes are the current winners in the nerd-friendly category. It's not just about the number of adjustments (Specialized Stumpy EVO has an impressive array of options as well) but also the amount of adjustment that makes them so cool.  Not to be that egoist linking my own work, but there are a lot of more niche-brands/[**nerd-brands**](https://nsmb.com/articles/will-there-be-revenge-nerd-brands/) that are way behind the big companies in terms of the number of adjustments, range of adjustments, and frankly the usability of adjustments (who cares how adjustable a bike is if the other settings/positions suck?). Those companies aren't going to compete on weight, marketing, spec or (personal taste aside) sex-appeal so follow the lead of, for example, Banshee and add a simple and effective dropout system that changes geometry and wheelbase. Start with swap-outs or sliders, spec a head tube that's angleset friendly, and go from there. But, what do I know right?!
