Any software that compares frame geometry?
Are there any programs on line, preferably free, that will allow me to easily input frame data and compare different frame geometries? I've got a bunch of bikes I'd like to compare and at least roughly figure out how to adjust fit across different frames. Thanks, Woody

I'm looking for more of a visual comparison.

I’ve used BikeGeo to calculate and compare frames and fit. It’s free online, and is accurate as long as you have the numbers.

I played with BikeGeo a bit and unfortunately it requires head tube and fork leangth. That makes it a little hard to work off of some of the commonly supplied specs. interesting that it dose not ask for seat tube measurements, which i get because most seat tubes are not measures C to C. It would be nice to be able to link values so that raising the top tube vertically would increase the seat and head tube lengths, or if you had the seat tube C to C you could determine the head tube.
