Riding position change animation
A couple animations with implications for fit and position to contemplate. In both animated gifs the riding position is identical yet pivoted forward or backward relative to the center of the bottom bracket. Notice that as the handlebar comes up the stem has to be shorter, the rider is shifted backwards, the saddle moves back and down, and there's a hell of a lot more weight on the rear wheel.
