Subject: [CR]Pencil Stays / Why?

Just took a ride on my 1950 Hetchins (non-curly) with 4 speed Sturmey and admired the long and lanky thin pencil stays.

Since I know less than nothing about frame building, I'd like to know more about this kind of style stay..

why thin? purely aesthetics? ride quality difference?

anything else?

Cheers

Scott
