I hadn't noticed that. My first though was "if you have your seat that far back, do you commute by brachiating?". But it actually looks like the relative position of the seat, cranks and rear wheels is pretty close to normal, though the rearmost set of tubes might be a bit more vertical than normal. Does that give you more weight on the rear tire when going up hill on slick surfaces? Or I could ask the google monster, "flying gat" was enough of a clue https://www.hetchins.org/jarvis-01.htm >> On 20/04/2026 13:13 BST Bob W PDML <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> All the leaves are green and the sky is blue.
