Now a bike with sharper angles gives it sharper handling where the benefits of good wheels shine. Most low end frames are designed to have softer geometry to accommodate for their expected demographic. I mean, there are low end frames with knife edge handling but not as common as a high end frame because the target audience for expensive frames is expected to be an advanced rider. This is the unfortunate truth about bike geometry. You can dress up a pig but she'll still be a pig.
