I am mostly a cyclist but follow motorcycles and the Craig Vetter site very closely as my late father-in-law was a lifelong racer and tourer.
The 16 in. wheel may be the way to go if you could find a rear sprocket in the 30 to 35 T range. A smaller wheel means less weight and drag than a larger diameter one and overall height is reduced for less air drag. If you are going for the racer's tuck position then consider adjusting the seat height so that your back is parallel to the ground. The seat padding is a personal matter but I like a bit of soft foam over a firmer foam base. Your weight should be balanced so as not to put too much pressure on the wrists or knees. The kamm back should fit snug to the hips and back without a gap to catch air.
What size is the front wheel? Could it be made 16 in. also?
