I'm confused....
I was just idly fading around with my training bike and decided to use my funky new app to measure the frame angles. I have a Planet X team Alu which has a STA listed at 72.5 degrees. Upon measuring the STA (on level ground) the app records 70 degrees. I have checked the app and it is accurate.
Why would the actual STA be much lower than advertised?

70 degrees is pretty slack for a road bike - you'd have to go way back in time to pre-war days to find something as laid-back, unless you're a Steve Bauer fan:
