Title: Anyone have the geometry numbers for Carbon and World Cup frames?
Post by: jazclrint on February 23, 2011, 03:34:49 pm

I am looking for the geometry numbers for my 5500 and my old 2000.  I can't find them anywhere.

Thanks,
Rich

Thanks.  i tried them but no geometry, and they have it listed as a 5000c.  I did find it by looking for the Oz M's geometry.  I've been comparing it to modern bikes.  What size in inches is a LG, anyway?  If you ignore the MUCH steeper steat tube angle and head angle, the top tube and wheel base have the same numbers of a 17.5" Trek Top Fuel.  I ride about a 20"ish, maybe 21".  When I bought my first Proflex ('98 2000) I bought a LG because I thought the Way Big was too big, but I was 20.  Not that I have grown much, but I am beginning to question if the bike is just too small for me.  But the cost of replacing it with something comparable is too much.

I have a 1998 brochure which has all the carbon, evo and world cup geometry for that year.  If you still need it, I'll try to scan it in the next couple days and post it.

My scanner is having a bad day so I took a picture instead.  If you can't make them out, let me know and I can email it to you.

Those are great.  Thanks!

I so wish I had a carbon Way Big frame.  Weren't those vaporware?  I didn't think any of them were made.

Correct! Only available in Medium and Large (and not much difference between the two!)
