It's a big deal because most bike's chainstays are 16"+. It's good to seem more choices with short stays. The frames are also pretty light, which many like.

i get that its short but it just doesnt seem that neat when theyre are already other cchoices. someone has already done it and most are acting like its the newest thing to hit the block. thats all im sayin i undertand the chainstay thing and im thrilled that there are more choices but people are overating it is all i think.

I'm actually engineering a way to have a 12" - 13" CS with 26" wheels. There would be no spindle connecting the crank arms, they would use driveshafts and angled gears to maintain their 180 degree orientation. It would add some drivetrain drag but it would be worth it IMO.

Or I'll just attach the cranks directly to the rear axle, like a unicycle with a front triangle, bet I could figure out how to manual on that! Bunnyhops would suck though...

These are exceptional frames backed by some passionate and very competent individuals. Everything looks dialed. Including that euro-table.

If you are an adult who is into riding bike like this, paying an extra 2 or 3 bills for something unique, interesting, and dialed is a bargain.

Just my 2 cents...
