Can someone point me to a good site that explains bike geometry and what all the different elements are? I am looking at a bike website that has about 25 different diminsions that they list, many are listed by 2-3 letters. I don't know what they all stand for and therefore am having a difficult time figuring out what the diminsions are that they are talking about.

Thanks

pretty much nails it all. not toally sure about the abreviations though. but they basically are the parts of the bike - bb = bottom bracket, tt = top tube, c-c = center to center, etc etc etc.
