if you take into account whate geometries most of us rode back in the days when there were no pogosticks,and a few people were going big though,i find that bar angle discussion a little...special.
you can feel if your bike fits nearly perfect,and have to go the compromise to adapt to the downsides of the setup.
the people i met had never!!! the same setup like me.
so i think its wrong to get orientation from other peoples bikes.
its a unique thing to everybody to have the bike fitted right,in my opinion.
