This was one of the ideas behind the Rigi split seattube design. I rode one of these for about a month and "quick" wouldn't be the way I'd describe it. . . . "sketchy" would be more like it. I always wanted a JT curved ST bike but after my Rigi experience I've avoided bikes with ultra-short chainstays. Anybody ridden both and want to comment? enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Still recovering from my first time riding double-overhead surf in Santa Barbara, Calif.
