That's legit.
I hear you when it comes to being brand specific. Sometimes certain manufacturers just have your geometry, and that's that.
Mine has been Specialized, but that was prior to riding a Felt F5, which was a dream machine in terms of fit. I sometimes feel like you could basically take any frame in your "range" and make it YOURS by adjusting the saddle and stem, but that's not the whole story.
