On these V frames, your body attaches as a triangulated connection. The
seat and bars are pretty much level like that when riding it. Think of
a racing b@#&, it's much the same aero position, but not as
flat-backed. I personally like it and think it's natural, whereas
it's not a traditional unicycle position and therefore may seem odd to
someone more used to riding without handles. It's basically for speed
& distance.




Ken (Looi) rides quite low like that too (on kh handle usually). I ride
sort of half way towards that, but not as low as you or Ken do, unless
it's really windy, in which case I'll ride as low as I can.

Oh and Roger Davies rides like that to I think, on the Nimbus 29er
frame with the new handle doodad.
