When I look at the Lemond bike now, it looks awkward and a little ridiculous with that saddle pushed so far forward. But it's better to feel good than to look good, if you know what I'm saying.
So, 1 degree of seat tube angle is about 1cm of setback. So if you nearly ran out of rail compared to a normal bike, the STA must have been something like 69 degrees instead the usual 73 for a medium size. Which is plenty weird.
