I think largely it came down to two things: 6 degree slope became the norm for the top tube, and it probably rotated around the center point - so the seat end dropped, shortening the seat tube, and the head tube side went up a bit, increasing max bar height. The other thing is everything got a bit longer so that one could run either a drop bar or an upright bar in their respective size by varying stem length. Both of these changes are pretty positive to me, as much as I love the look of earlier Homers, Bleriots, Rambouillets etc. It does mean that I need to run a 5-7cm stem for drop bars when I would have run a 9ish cm on the older models, but I like the short stem setup - more room for front bags, and puts the front wheel slightly further in front of you for rough stuff
