Ibis Hakka MX Geometry
I'm seeing photos where seat stays meet seat tube up by the top tube such as this...
And others where they are lower down such as this...
I've read about the change in fork from post mount to direct mount but can't find any information on the frame change. I wonder if anybody out there has the latter version (lower seat stays) and if their review would be as positive as most of those I've read online. Specifically, I'm interested in ride comfort and how bike performs on the road.

I think the higher stays must be the latest version. The flat mount brake would be a more modern choice, and the bikes currently on Ibis' website are all that way. https://www.ibiscycles.com/bikes/hakka-mx Stands to reason they'd have the most up to date pics on there I think? I like the aesthetics of the higher stays for whatever that's worth-no idea how it would effect performance.

Jensonusa.com has some really good deals on the lower stay frames which I've been looking at. The post mount fork I can live with but if the difference in frame geometry will impact ride quality that is another story.
