Oh, but there is something uniquely fine about the setup the writer describes. I, for one, find it perfect, but each to his own. I cannot, repeat cannot, find a "sit up and beg" position comfortable or efficient -- it screams "dragging" to me and the saddles hurt my ass.
As a youth I rode hundreds if not thousands of miles on rod braked roadsters -- hilly, windy, 50 and 60 milers in urban traffic and in the outskirts of the Rift Valley. I always, without fail, grabbed the bar next to the stem and leaned way forward. I saw many, many other riders do the same. Each to his own. OTOH, when I tried a comically slack Dutch bike (real Hollandaise) I found it surprisingly -- well, not as awful as I had anticipated. (Though the amazingly high, amazingly swept back bar kept hitting me in the stomach when I turned sharply.) But this was a bike with a comically slack seat tube -- which i think is the key to getting the acceptably minimum bend between torso and thighs.
