Yes there is definitely a difference between frames when standing. The best cornering bike I ever had is the Tesch. It would turn without (seemingly) any input from me. The downside is it's the most brutal riding bike ever. Short wheelbase, steep head angle, and heavy, oversized steel tubes. A true crit bike.
