Older Terry bikes with the smaller front wheel have a 73-degree STA. My Bike Friday Pocket Crusoe does as well. Both are obviously very different compromises because of the small wheels, but that allows the slacker STA and no toe overlap even with shorter top tubes.
I used to have a Terry Isis with that configuration and liked it very much; and now I really enjoy the fit of my Bike Friday.

We use an iphone. Useful for measuring STA & also saddle angle. Just download one of the spirit level apps. Don't forget to make sure the bike is standing level - a long something balanced/held on the top of the axles/QRs w/ the phone on top will tell you this.
