in the chart. The center to center seat tube dimension indicates
where the actual intersection of the top tube/seat tube happens

On that geo chart, there is no "normal" size 60. Every size over
the 59 has a dropped top tube.

The intent is to make the size of the front triangle smaller on the
biggest size bikes. I suppose they feel it adds some rigidity to the
larger frames.
