Does anyone have experience with this as N + 1 bike? I can imagine there is some value in learning to ride corners without a seat...

Technically, you should be able to corner way better without a seat. The entire point of dropper posts is to get the seat out of the way when you corner.

I say be a pioneer and get the bike. In a world of e-bikes, this is bike isn't as outlandish as it appears. Based on how it looks, assuming you'll ride it on all the same NJ trails, I can almost guarantee 3 things:

1) You will become a better technical rider.
2) Your fitness will increase and you'll get into amazing shape.
3) You will eventually break it.

it must be good, only 5-star reviews AND you can add toe cages.
who remembers toe cages? My ribs do!

Same principle...

 

[Patrick]

No eliptigo in zwift. how would i practice?

 

[Mtbdog]

I was under the impression dropper posts were to lower your center of gravity when cornering. You live and learn. Guess I've been using mine wrong. TY

No slack there

Apparently there's already a hack to convert regular bikes to this configuration. Here are the steps:
1) Remove seat.

LOL I was riding with toe cages in all of the '80s. As a matter of fact even in mid '90s I was still rocking the toe clips!!

Mechanical brakes to pair with the toe clips. That HTA needs some slackening too. Will this replace the SS cult?

Real Talk, those chicks slay it on those things. During the PA600 I got into a paceline of them and struggled to hold a wheel.

A friend of mine rides in toe clips and work boots. He is also known to podium at local enduro events.
