I have heard/read all the bebfits of these style of frame:
stiffness
comfort
weight savings
etc
but do they really save weight and offer greater stiffness if you have to use a longer seatpost which must make for the difference in weight and offer flex as well (especially carbon/Ti posts)
Does anyone regularly ride both styles?

Search through rec.bicycles.tech and .racing on google for
