Found someone testing weights in a bucket tight to the 
seat http://www.tietoportti.com/Nojapy%C3%B6r%C3%A4.html

Hi *,

i think, too, this is how Juergen mentioned it - a rule of thumb.
the rideability has the drivers weight inside the equation. If you push the 
bike 
on its own, its all down to the weight distribution of the bike, plus the point 
where one actually pushes the bike probably atcs as a leaver to bring down 
force 
on the pivot. Folks with higher seats should therefore do better...
 
greetings,
DirkS
