I’m sure a couple of manufacturers make bikes with shorter chain stays than the smuggler, so I’m going to have to say that your chain stays aren’t short. Sorry. And they gave the second iteration a little more ground clearance, so it isn’t low. Not to mention the head angle, it is a wonder you aren’t over the bars the whole time! It is long, I’ll give you that.
I am, of course, just kidding. I would use one of those little faces to indicate that, but I’m never sure I’m using the right one. I once unwittingly accused someone, with better knowledge of these things, of being a penis. Life can be so confusing when you report to a young(er) person.
