Gen 5 slashes run quite slack in reality on anybody running a decent amount of post extension on larges and XLs. Trek publishes actual STA at 66.6 in slack, which is... super slack, even for actual STA? Looking at how much our boy Matt is running on his large (given that's a 190mm post at extension), he falls into the "almost certainly slacker than what the chart says" camp, falling outside whatever arbitrary intersection of seat height and actual STA Trek picked for their chart to make eSTA.
Hey Matt, if you're interested you should see about getting one of those fair bicycle offset seat post heads in to test. I'm quite enjoying going a little bit steeper on my on-paper-75-but-in-XL-reality-less seat tube angle bike.
