My remark isn't weak. Plus, I'm not on here to argue with you or anyone else. Please remove one self from your high horse.

Having the brake mounted on the seat stays makes the brake cable have to make two sharp turns and adds unnecessary length, too. These then add up to lessen the braking power. Though, I'm sure the bike stops just fine.

With Gazelle using the brake design that they did, it smacks of parts bin manufacturing. I'm sure they probably used the same brakes on their diamond frame bikes, as well.

But, my remark in this case was more about the appearance of the design. I believe it just looks nicer with the brake mounted on the top tube.
