The evolution of geometry hasn't kept up or exceed the rate of aging. At one time I rode a Yeti ASR7 with identical seat and headtube angles, 67. 178mm of travel, aluminum frame, full coil suspension, 26" wheels and by todays standards horrible geometry. Yet here I am 12 years later and I still have PR's on climbs and descents on that bike that I can't beat, cause I'm old and fat now. If you think the secret to having more fun on a bike is a degree or two here or there, that's gonna be an ever moving target.
