My late 1974 Harry Quinn with impossibly short chain stays had this trick by Mr. Quinn from the get go. Really allowed easier rear wheel removal that way.
Wheelbase on that bike? 37.25". toe clip overlap? Lots. 11" high bottom bracket. A terrific criterium bike.
Only a guy with a Schroder could pedal through the corners with me.
