I can imagine it's useful once you get into the 60cm range, since the average rider weight is going up while the structural triangulation of the frame is going down. But I can't deny that I love the totally unnecessary extra tube on the Hunq so who am I to judge.
The "unnecessary tube" I want, and would put on a Riv custom if I ever got one, would be the lift handle from the Rosco's. I keep hoping for it on new models.
