I believe it had 73 degree angles.

I don't agree with his conclusions. He says that bikes can have lower trail
now because they are stiffer:
"Companies wouldn’t put bikes with so little trail on the road if the forks
weren’t significantly stiffer than they used to be. You need precise
handling in order to control a fork that steers
Eddy must have had terrible TCO, a 59.5cm FC for a 58cm frame Good
thing Eddy did not have to turn around in the road at slow speed.
Really enjoyed the article, a good POV.

It seems like the 5th paragraph sums what Eddy wanted
This is a bike that turns only when you tell it to, and will rail down
mountains.
With the short WB, it should really turn tight.

That's what I thought. Thanks!

Yes, it should be easy to set up a 61 Atlantis and a 61 Hilsen to fit
identically, because all the important fit-geometry numbers are identical.
