If you guys have pictures of someone who IS a FREAK and fits on a bike with a 74 degree seat tube angle, that ISN'T a TT bike, then I would like to see it.

74-75 degree seat tube angles should be for TT bikes ONLY.

I ride a Tarmac with a 74˚ seat tube angle, a 20mm setback seatpost and 85mm saddle setback- not exactly freakish.

Also looked at dozens of pics of OP's bike online & didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

You might be OVERSTATING things a bit.
