He's protecting an investment (see above).

I have a problem with Newsboys; they could be a very elegant, swoopy design, but there's one totally needless flaw - Where the seatstays meet tghe seat tube and continue their arc forward, there is a flat spot which totally ruins the effect. It doesn't need to be there; Merlin are obviously very good at bending pipes unnecessarily, so why leave this bit straight?
It looks like Mr Creosote has had a go.
Sorry, but it's not a patch on your Rossin.

I thought it was just like this on the small frames to keep ity below the top tube where it meets the seat tube.
