For a road bike, I'd say the seat tube is closer to 72 degrees than 74, for a "relaxed" versus an agressive geometry. Ditto for the head tube angle. These measures usually differ between sizes of the same model so you'd have to compare different models of the same size to know if one is more "relaxed" than the other.

Also, for a more "relaxed" ride, the chain stay usually is a bit longer too, to accommodate more chain and gears, and that also usually results in a relatively longer wheelbase.
