Brandon replied at length but did not discuss center of gravity or weight distribution as a factor.
First, appropriate location of center of gravity on the bike is a good design objective (good weight distribution).
Second, men and women differ in the location of their center of gravity and this should be taken into account in achieving a good design.
I'd like to see size cycles fitted with weight scales front and back to measure weight distribution.
I'd also like to see shops that specialize in $$$ bike fittings have scales to measure weight distribution.
