I like it.....straight from the Greg LeMond school of framebuilding.
I can't think of anything worse than a 74º/74º degree frame with 40mm of rake and 410mm stays. I'm sure Greg would agree, although I'm sure he'd say whatever Trek told him to anyway, just like Keith and Zap. *tugs pretend chain attached to collar around neck*
