Exactly how I find it too. I have the previous generation aluminum Chameleon with a 150 fork. I’m short but I extended the drops all the way back. It rides better. People throw out the word "progressive " all the time but what the hell does that really mean? Steep seat tube angles on a hardtail are just plain stupid. I think the steep seat tube angles have come about because people want a long reach but the same top tube length and short stays because apparently riding with your butt on top of the rear wheel is "playfull".
