Mine pictured is a 26" wheeled machine and I had to epoxy a wooden dowel inside the seatpost to keep them from folding backwards when I had it extended for actual riding outside of a BMX track

Thank you, DMC. What you are saying makes sense to me. I'm 5' 7", but have very long legs. (32 inch inseam) Here is the 26" Redline with the saddle adjusted to a normal position for proper pedal efficiency for me.

Your orange and chrome bike sure looks hot! It may be my favorite in the thread.
