410mm chainstays are pretty great actually, for hardtails anyway. I rode one this morning.

Patent Round-Up: SRAM's Quick-Shift Motor, Specialized Telemetry & Yamaha's Dropper Frame
@hevi: You're right actually. It would only infringe if/when both patents are granted.

Patent Round-Up: SRAM's Quick-Shift Motor, Specialized Telemetry & Yamaha's Dropper Frame
@Balgaroth: Switchgrades are great but they require taking your hands off the bars to actuate. Also, the times you want your saddle pitched backwards are roughly the same as you want it dropped so it would be useful if one lever did both (like the old Specialized Wu post).
In what way does your steep seat angle feel better? In my experience a slack seat angle when saddle is dropped is preferable as you are better able to control the bike with your thighs, as they touch the sides of the saddle as opposed to the rear corners. Bear in mind I do a lot of fairly low speed steep technical descending.
