You're 100% right there. I didn't adjust the seat because I don't intend on keeping it anyhow. Once I get a decent seat and get the issues sorted out, I'll raise it up.
I will say that a lot of kids in the 80s rode them like this though. The geometry on these bikes is a bit more relaxed than modern road bikes. They're not to be taken too seriously, as "road bikes" in my opinion.
