As for geometry, just measure it yourself.
Thanks T-Mar! I should have thought to at least check bikepedia to see what the others were made of,
Now measuring the tube lengths and wheelbase is easy enough but getting the angles accurate is another thing in itself, LOL!
I just like knowing to try and figure why a bike "feels" like it does.
