• would a steeper seat tube not put you closer to the headtube?

    You're right, it would, but it also mean the distance between the saddle and the bottom bracket will be smaller.

    If you want to set it like a normal bike, you'd need to push the saddle back a bit more, and thus increase the reach.

    1 degree = 1cm (approx).
