I appreciate the replies here.

The bike size I like. If the top tube was longer, I'd have to get down into a bullet position. That's not what I need, and I have a more upright and wide handle bar style sort of like a cruiser...sort of. I don't want to lean forward much at all. Hehe. Therefore the top tube is just right for me.

I also don't want to separate my seat from my BB more. If I do, I can't back stop my hamstrings into the the seat. I'd lose all access to that essential power stroke. It's got a lot going for it.

And I'm not doing like a set down, and run it 30 miles non-stop here. I'm doing cross city, jig zag, cut and fade through traffic, over medians, off and up curbs... I'm going about 3x miles straight at a time. Maybe four sometimes. A lot of in between, and a ton of stop and go.

That's why that seated back stop on the upper end of the hamstrings is useful for me. It's really a whole other game for me now, and I'll never go any other way. I'll always fit my bike and seats accordingly. LOL

But yeah...it's an upright sitting style. It looks real cool like I'm nothing's going on, checking all the sites, people's eyes, stop lights and street signs...CARS, but the damn bike gets up and launches to probably 20mph and sticks there for a good long stretch. People do speculate on it. Hehe.
