You can do this with an already existing frame to achieve the desired fit of course. but the shorter stem and the rearward shift of the balance point will change the handling a bit. If a frame is designed around the rotated position to start with, then in addition to slackening the seat tube, the Reach and front center can be adjusted to tune the handling.
