So, there's this anime called Yowamushi Pedal. I'm sure you've heard of it somewhere or another. Well, there is the "villian", I guess, that has an interested theory on bicycle weight/geometry.
Basically, he takes the smallest frame possible, and then adds ridiculous stems and seat posts to actually fit him.
Could this actually work in the real world? Like... could a 6'4 rider who normally rides a 58-60CM bike just grab a 48CM frame and add some crazy stem and seat post? Would there be a legitimate weight savings?
Pic related. It's the character and his bike.
