you sure about that 34-12, because afaik they never had a 12t freewheel only 13t(ran one 36-13) and for a long time 14t was the smallest you could get.

this whole no seat thing smells like another demo 9 trolling.
i'm pretty sure the bmx microdrive thing started with Profile. the small freewheels actually came after--as a cheap alternative to having a Profile cassette hub.

If I didn't have a seat on my eastern night train I definitely would have ripped myself a new butthole.

At least the picture in your original post has a full seat and seat tube keeping it all together.
It's the ones that just zip tie the seat rails to their top tube and wrap a bandana around the whole thing that blow my mind.

I use my seat to sit on. Even as impossible as it is to pedal while sitting.
