Does lighter still matter on carbon frame as people stick in carbon seat post anyway if they're into serious racing?
Stiffer...hrm. That's another one for the old people corner.
Yes smaller frames are stronger you can carry more load on short top tube tourers compared to the same frame height model with a longer top tube due to increased frame stiffness. This isn't load carrying though.
Well if Rob English had done research to back it up fair play. The Koga kimera had lots of research put into it where stiffness was measured.
