Been looking at the same thing – the bit I don’t understand is how they can be similar given the head angle on the anthem is 71.5 and 68.9 on the mantle???
1) there is more to life than head angles.
2) it can depend how they’re measured: sagged/extended
3) don’t believe everything you see on a geometry chart
1) probably very true though I am unqualified to actually say. However it is a main ‘selling point’ when manufacturers talk about how their bikes have the ‘ultimate’ geometry.
2) The on-ones and cotics etc of this world do say if their HA are sagged or static (as do Genisis) however the a lot of the bigger don’t mention it at all so I find it hard to tell to compare apples with apples.
3) – ha! probably
Fact is many of us an now buying a bike/frame unridden so weather right or wrongly – its one of the ways we decide if its suitable for us. Colour is the other 🙂
