Might have missed this, but does anyone feel that having a lower top tube (e.g. sloping) as opposed to horizontal is advantageous? I'm thinking a) if you slip off the saddle you don't land on sensitive parts and b) when you need to bail you can hop over the top tube easily.
I guess I just don't see why that bike doesn't have a sloping top tube. Something to do with construction methods?
