Is there an archive with older Serotta Ti geometry?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Head and seat tube angles vary with the size of the bike. What range of years and sizes are you looking at?

Why not ask this over at the Serotta website forums?

In Serottas 'standard' road geometery
a 55CM would have
top tube 55CM
seat angle 73.25*
head angle 73*
chainstay length 41CM
standover 81.2CM
Wheelbase 98.4CM

A 56CM would have
top tube 56CM
seat angle 73*
head angle 73*
chainstay length 41CM
standover 83.1CM
wheelbase 99.2CM

A 57CM would have
top tube 57*
seat angle 73*
head angle 73.5*
chainstay length 41.5CM
standover 83.1CM
wheelbase 99.8CM

In all the above sizes the fork rake would be 4.3CM

The Legend Ti was Serotta's flagship for many years and was offered in custom sizing at no additional charge. The only way to tell if the bike is 'standard' or custom is by the serial number. A custom would have a C as the first letter in the serial number sequence.

Hope this helps
