Actually, my 7.9FX (105 cranks) has less measured Q factor than my Trek 1500 road racer. Head angle varies between 71.5 to 72.5 on the 7.9FX depending on frame size. Lots of road racers with head angles like that. Have never checked my 7.5FX but my guess is that it is not spec'd the same as the 7.9FX vis a vis crank Q and such. But I suppose I could actually check instead of just assuming it to be so.
