Lo Pros, Represent

proper noob question but what is the benefit of a lo pro frame? is it just that the stems in a lower position? I love the look of lo pro frames but can't you just raise the seat to get a similar position? As I said total noob but would love to be enlightened!

sumo - "I thought it was for maximum aero in TT's before tri bars and shit."

this seems like best explanation. something about stiffer front end too, don't know enough about that though.
