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?

There should be a wealth of discussion about this topic online..
Search through rec.bicycles.tech and .racing on google for compact
versus traditional geometry.
