The seat lug sockets won't accommodate the angle needed to get a straight pair of stays back to the way-back-there dropouts. It must cost something to bend all those stays, so I'd say there's nothing cheap about it. Maybe the lug was designed with shorter chainstays in mind. In that case, well, cheaper to bend the stays than re-cast the lugs! I like the swoop; these bikes are mutts in the best way. Can't wait to see what people make of them out in the wild. When I have the cash, I plan to order two to build up for my folks. RIv nailed the problem of the useful old bike supply dwindling.
