Bike geometry chart
Greetings 
I don't often venture forth from my cave in one of the other forums, and was delighted to find this group when i did
Simple question to start off with; I'd like to thoroughly measure all of my bikes for my records, as i am an 'outlier' in terms of sizing (5'4"/ 162cm), so the nitty gritty becomes important.
And for this purpose, i am looking for a comprehensive geometry chart (and by comprehensive i'm hoping for every conceivable angle, distance, rise, stretch, lift, etc , etc etc. illustrated on one diagramme)
Having done some trawling through the web, without having found the ULTIMATE Bike Geo Chart, i wonder if anyone here has? (e.g dont just gimme effective top tube, i want actual tt, AND reach, included.. ;-) )
thanks

I find the one at the top of this page entertaining: Technical FAQ: Giving up carbon for old titanium - VeloNews.com
Seems to me the fit of road bikes, at least as far as the frame, fork and stem determine it, can be fixed by three dimensions: the seat tube post angle and the reach and stack distances from BB to centre of handlebars. After that it is just a matter of having the right seatpost and saddle, crank arm length and handlebar shape. Dunno, maybe I've missed something.
