955 geometry/sizing?

[ianc]

Anyone got details of the 955 specs - especially after the dimensions of Small, Medium and Large frames as I consider what size 955 to get my girl (I have a ?large? 955 available for swaps for a smaller 955 if anyone has one/knows of one/is interested).

chck out this geometry table.Look at te 1998 year the 1000,2000 and 3000 are the x57 frames,which are the closest to the x55 and x56 frames.Up until 1997(x57) i think the sizes were 14,16 18 and 20

Don't follow this too blindly, but the '98 Beast GDT was definitely an 856. And I'm pretty sure the Animal was as well.
The reason (I think) I know this, is that I was going to buy an 856 in '98 and that is what they were called that year. I didn't go ahead because the Beast GDT was a vile Green and the Animal was an even worse Bright Yellow with stripes or chevrons on it.
Although there was also an Animal in Red/Blue which was an 857 style frame with an Ally swing arm. But even if this is the one they mean then the geometry should be the same as an 856 as the front triangle is identical.
Luckily I got my XP-X with a nice Red Frame and Blue Suspension.
I'm pretty sure my Medium XP-X (856) has a 570mm top tube which ties up with this table.
Therefore the dimensions for the Beast and Animal should be right for an 855 as well.
