I've been kinda wondering about this for years, and just now I saw this twisted and tortured seat tube pictured in an ad, and it finally pushed my curiosity all the way up to "gotta ask."
The Giant is of course not unique in this regard. Most FR/DH bikes have similarly slack seat tubes.
Is it so the seat will be further forward when lowered?
Or is it so the seat will be further back when raised up? (Why would anyone run a high seat on a DH bike anyway?)
Edumacate me. I has teh curious.
kthxbye
