I agree. The short chain stays on Steve’s Maniak was another reason I didn’t buy one. I think short chain stays probably work on a medium or small frame, but for large and xl frames it just messes up the balance.
I too chose to go custom. Should have my frame this fall. I didn’t go as slack or long as your Walt Works, but like you said allot of geo preference is terrain dependent.
