I still don't like it that way. I'd rather lose some of the aero around the sides and make it easier to bail if necessary. That's just me, though.

These monocoque designs have an advantage, as they glance off objects easily and try to stop in a line, which they are...linear. Bicycle or bike, retractable standing gear is a benefit. Esp at a stop sign in the pouring rain, when you don't want to use your only good foot to hold you up.
