Hi there

I am looking at building up a bike to race at crits and short road races, I have been advised to go for a smaller more compact frame than I normally ride. I understand that a smaller frame may be more stiffer but is this the norm with this stlye of bike I know TT bikes are often smaller
Any advise or opinions
