What would make your seat closer to your bars, a steep or shallow seat tube angle?

WTF?  I have no idea what the first reply is trying to say.

A stepper STA will put your seat closer to your bars, and a shallower HTA will put your bars closer to your seat.

keep in mind the top tube length. longer top tube will still keep them separated. you could run a layback post backwards to pull the seat even closer to the bars.

Oh, oops. Though he was talking about the angle of the seat on the post.

So what Prasheel said.
