In an old buyers guide they even had some of the specs like ht/st angles and tt lenghts all laid out in chart. One of the few that always stuck out was lemond with the slack st and steep ht and long tt,(seems like serotta was on the oppposite end of that range). Don't know if it was ever very accurate, but it was interesting to browse anyway. One of the reasons I took a chance on my old lemond was just out of curiousity, to see how that supposedly different geometry worked (that and lemond himself seemed about my size and not too long in the leg). Still haven't measured it accurately enough to be certain about those specs, but it feels better than any other bike I've ridden so far in fit handling and responsiveness, it's just a bit mushy in the bb at times.
