I must apologise that this bike is "new", but figured it actually belonged here and might be appreciated 
I've been mtbing since 1989 so was around to see E-stays in their shortlived heyday (but never owned one - my fillet brazed Kili Flyer was too nice to replace).
So when making my own 29er singlespeed from scratch, I decided some low slung E-stays would help give a short back end with lots of mud clearance around big wheels.
And after +3 months of riding it hasn't broken!
For those wanting a few details, it is fillet brazed Columbus tubing (mostly plain gauge - just top and downtube are butted). All up weight is 23.7 lbs which I'm rather pleased with!
