You had to ask that magic question.

I had a bunch of notes about the height, bar to nose of saddle dimension and so on and can't find them.

These notes were done to fit the mountain tandem to her. The mountain tandem was also short. I believe the thudbuster helped a lot since it swings rearward as it works, so just static sag moves the saddle aft.

If memory serves me correct, the length difference is 1 inch. This is single mountain bike vs mountain tandem.

This why I'm considering selling this bike and getting a newer one. There's an additional 1 1/2 inches. I just don't understand then, how the riders setup their position on these shorter early frames. As I mentioned, all production frame sizes of the same model have the same dimensions for the stoker.
