Part of the reason we all bought small mountain bikes was that the frames
were generally quite long for the given height. They actually had pretty
rangy reach to them. The prevailing wisdom at the time was that you needed
significant stand over clearance, hence the longer TT's, etc.

I'm convinced the undersize MTB thing was a marketing ploy (or as Jim
mentioned, a geometry issue that became a marketing ploy) so folks felt
safer riding on trails which at the time seemed a wild and crazy thing to
do. Still today you need ultra undersized frames, monster tires, and

Interesting. Someone could make an add-on piece to allow any lock to work
that way--or (for those who don't like carrying an extra cable) a short
cable to be used in the same fashion on the (more) vulnerable front wheel.
