Oddly the wheelbase isn't included in the geo chart for the Bare Knuckle. I'm sure I'll find it somewhere.
I wish there was a quick and simple way to find the specs for a variety of frames.
Thanks again for you insight.
Can't help with the need for a quick and simple way to find the specs, etc.
But if you're looking for an '08 replacement Madison frame, find a Schwinn dealer (the bigger the better, to ensure that the sales rep wants to keep the dealer happy) and ask the dealer to ask Schwinn whether they have any of those frames in stock. Companies such as Schwinn
usually keep a small number of frames in the warehouse for warranty replacement claims, even for bikes for which framesets were never offered, and a big dealer can sometimes get the company to sell one of those frames.
