Thank you, Kenny! I'm stoked to hear what conclusions you come to so post up. I do think OneUp could offer a larger (longer) platform as well as a smaller (kids) platform and both would be well received.
"_Oof. Another variable to throw in my overanalyses shitstorm. Lol._"
The thing is, in my case at least, I'm talking about a couple of centimeters. Most current aggressive bike geometries don't even allow for that much adjustment in stem length (35-50mm) = 1.5cm). Relative to discussions about Reach, Stack, etc. it's a large difference.
I don't know if I'd claim there are advantages to it, as in I wouldn't go back in time and try to teach myself to ride with a more arch-over-axle position but this whole process has been an interesting journey. I'm still doing quite a bit of stuff to strengthen my calf and foot muscles so it will be interesting to see if I migrate back to my previous position over time.
