Aesthetics. I want to reduce the bulk of the bike in the profile. The Bob Jackson I have with wrapover seat stays looks wide at the back as a result of both the wrapover and the straight stays.
With this one, I wanted an elegant rear. So I went for the invisible seat binder to give narrow shoulders to the seat stays, and S-bends to bring the stays closer together to reduce the visible width and size of the rear.
