Lower BB height is a practical consideration for making python easier to walk.
Not sure how other riders feel, but struggling to keep the BB from falling down
while walking the bike is perhaps the least "cool" aspect of the bike for me
(clumsy). There had also been discussion about walk-ability implies
ride-ability (not vice versa), which is a good test for builders who have not
learned to ride yet. Higher seat height also makes it easier to learn/ride.
Another practical consideration is for riders with weaker knees. It seems that
optimal BB-seatHeight (15-20cm?) may cause encourage over exertion. Higher BB
seems to intense for python cruising style, so it seems lower BB is the lazy
way to go...
Cheers,
Vi
