That site has some issues. Generally, I expect most sites to rely on team/athlete publicity statements, which I doubt are truthful. Like most sports, I expect the sponser, team, athlete control what information is given to the media and it's tells the story they want to tell. In this instance, I'm not sure it's good PR to release specs on the size of riders bikes that most of us will recognize as woman-sized rides. Whatever, visually most those head tube lengths look about a 1/3 of my bike, and I'm not riding a hybrid.
