Furry's fat and long bikes

I'm really liking the idea of gently curving seatstays now. Bit like these.

They would in theory add some comfortable flex.

"vertical compliance"

I'm just repeating marketing BS I've read regarding such curved stays on a Ti bike.

not sure if they have a discernible benefit on ride comfort.

Maybe it's an aesthetic thing. Frame builders do it because the metal allows it without losing any rigidity.

This stuff is so fecking Bike Radar though.

Rob English has his say about skinny stays and the myth of vertical compliance.

What Rob says makes sense to me. Don't really have a clue though. I just thought they looked nice ;-)
