what am I missing here? The largest size(what I look at as a default since its always what I would ride) has a 73deg STA and a 71.5deg HTA. That's a relatively relaxed HTA, but hardly crazy for its purpose- a reliable urban bike. Twitchy handling isnt really needed, or even beneficial.
the ETT is longer than some, but that also offsets the relaxed HTA which is a good thing.
chainstay length makes sense. Bb drop makes sense. It has 48mm of trail.

not sure what's so horrific for an urban bike.
