Just built up my new Warden 150F/155R Mullet. In slack the BB height is 345 (same as high setting non-mullet). HTA is probably 65deg. STA is what it is.... but it climbs well - probably 73.5-74 deg. Quick ride today after work, really impressed with the ride. Probably a steeper STA would be better but for a sale frame, I'm not complaining.
Looks great! I find the slackish seat tube is less of a concern on the Warden as the bottom of the seat tube is a fair bit more forward of the bb than on most bikes. The result is that you're in a pretty decent climbing position with the seat up and the seat is well out of the way for steep descents when you need to get back on the bike. I think it only becomes an issue if someone buys a bike that is a bit undersized and has to run a long seat post that is jacked up to the sky. Now that I've ridden mine for a bit I think the Warden is one of those bikes where's there's benefit to sizing up if everything else works for you.
We should get out for rip sometime.
