You are correct, I should have said riders in older times. Although as I get older and fatter, I find my handlebars getting higher and saddle lower too. Maybe it works for both reasons!

Do you mean 'riders in the old days'? I think that these guys were in their prime. Your statement would be correct if they were my age and rode like me. :)
