I know it won't ride like any bike I'd build. :-) It sounds like this geometry was an exercise in seeing how short the chain stays could be made and still have the bike ride okay. (Hence the long front center) This certainly was the fashion back in those days. Or the geometry was a mistake. Either way the bike will ride like a... bike with too short of chain stays but it will still ride like a bike. It's virtually impossible to build an unridable bike but IMHO this is a silly geometry. Sorry, I have no info about Dale Saso and mean him no disrespect.
