Nicolai Helius AC or the AM fit both those bills.

OP drop me an email (address is in my profile). Rather sadly I have a spreadsheet where I've been collecting this kind of data and have it laid out against bike make and model.

30.9 or 31.6 seat tube [b]30.9[/b]
66 or 67 degree head angle [b]68.5[/b]
71 ish seat angle [b]72[/b]
140 or 150mm front travel [b]150mm[/b]
43" plus wheel base [b]44.75"[/b] in large

Low BB at 13.5"

Looks like apart from the standover and 1 degree at the head angle the FTM carbon is pretty spot on - HMMMM
Any way to slacken it

They can't do anything as the frame is the headset cup

Rob,

I've successfully slackened my FTM by 1.5 degrees using a beautifully made (therefore expensive) custom off-set headset that presses into frame very securely. Sadly, I only rode it once before noticing an unrelated crack in the frame. Have to send it to on-one now (from Australia) for warranty - urgh.

Anyway - PM me if this interests you.

I can't count the amount of times I've ridden a bike and all I could think of was "I wish this head angle was 2 degrees slacker"
