The very laid back position is for those extremely bad backs with at least 6 disks that are
misplaced, eroded or somehow else bogus. It's also very low for safety reasons, since you
probably have some kind of balance problem. The low boom bracket is related to poor circulation
somehow... I mean, there *HAS* to be something wrong with you if you need to ride a bike that
looks *THAT* weird ;p
Hmm wonder what I'll say when riding a trike. Maybe best is just to say nothing, and blankly point
at my head ;p ... though I guess that'll often be followed by involuntary laughter... only better I
guess, and soon nobody will ask any questions ;D
Maybe one should realize some people know *NOTHING* about bents, and probably not much about bikes
in general. At least for some people it seems counterintuitive that lowracers are fast (they even
miss the design clues I guess ), and assuming zero knowledge they are at a loss anyway deciding
over what the heck it is, so they go for the most plausible interpretation... All of us make stupid
questions time to time.
