Are those racks exceptionally long or do they just look that way due to the small wheels?
The racks are longer and wider as one of the design requirements is that the case folds up and fits on top of the rear rack and the smaller wheels do make things look bigger.
Think you are referring to the longer top tube... it is a custom built bike for a custom built guy who is a little taller and bigger than average.
I really enjoyed the test ride... this is a stable and extremely nimble bike with a great ride quality.
