Kind of a joke in a way, but with seeing a trend in people getting road bikes with smaller frames so they can shave weight, and compensate with a longer seatpost and stem, I wonder how small frames can get? Eventually the frames could be almost non-existant. They could end up being just a junction point at the bottom bracket for everything else.

Any 700c road bikes out there with super small frames that still qualify as legal?

I know, prolly a dumb topic, but it's Saturday, and I'm bored at work.

Yeah we've already discussed the seatpost and the racing wannabe poseurs. I found that entertaining.

Fistful of seatpost!

A three foot seat post, a fot long stem, foot long crank arms. I am totally going to do that!!

Rather than discussing the ride quality of frames, we're going to start discussing the ride quality of seatposts...Oh wait, I think we already are.

How about a carbon nanotube frame?

Or a synthetic diamond frame?

or a buckminsterfullerene tube frame?

Am there.....Doing that.....It's called a Dahon Helios SL.....17 lbs.....Rides better than my 21 lb road bike.....Folds down to the size of a medium suit-case......Wherever I go, it goes.....& goes.....& goes......

NICE!

I mean with a standard road frame, good enough though, hey were is the foot long stem?
