Some like ISPs, some don't. I'm in the latter category. Also, does anyone have info about weights? _________________ Exp001 || TeamLACBC

If by frontage you are referring to frontal area then no, you aren't decreasing the frontal area because it is already behind the head tube. It is, however, aligning the toptube to the direction of the flow so as to decrease the interference with streamlines.
