HSG steel CX frame

The picture of the yellow HSG steel CX frame suggests a sloping tt. The model comparison chart states horizontal tt only. Do I need spectacles?

It has 1.5 degrees of top tube slope - same as all our stock cross bikes. The pink one also has 1.5 degrees. I suspect that's a bit of a photo-induced exageration in the picture you mention. That's also a small bike - size 50cm shown, so the 1.5 degree may show up more due to the proportions.

We don't consider a bike to have a truly sloping top tube until the downslope angle approaches 4 degrees. That's were it becomes noticable.
