Comparing bike geometry – we made a thing

    So a friend and I built a website to gather bike geometry info and make it easy to compare.

    It’s here: https://geometrygeeks.bike

    It’s early days, but we’re nearly at 900 bikes now. We have lofty ambitions for it to become the go-to resource for bike geometry, and you gotta start somewhere.

    FEEDBACK PLEASE! On here or using the tool on the site – look in the footer.

    Have a play with it – the ‘add bike’ feature lets you copy/paste a geometry table, and (with a bit of fiddling) it’s pretty neat.

    Cheers 

    Bob

    PS Full disclosure – at some point we’ll use ads to hopefully pay hosting costs.

    Hey Mendes.pms – we don’t

    Hey Mendes.pms – we don’t have it yet, but anyone can add a bike, wiki-style. Have a go!

    Hey thanks – I think you’re describing exactly what it can do? Just click the ‘dot’ on each bike/size you’d like to see side by side, then head to compare.

    Here’s an example: https://geometrygeeks.bike/compare/cannondale-caad10-105-2015-54,specialized-allez-elite-2013-54,trek-monda-h2-fit-2016-54cm,cerv-lo-s3-2016-54/

    I think the comparison feature could be done a little more effectively. I had to guess how to add more bikes to make a comparison.

    Here’s what I did to compare two bikes’ geometries.

    1. Search for bike #1
    2. When the geometry page for bike #1 loads, click the round radio button for a particular size bike and make it active
    3. Search for bike #2
    4. When the geometry page for bike #2 loads, click the round radio button for a particular size bike and make it active
    5. Click the “Compare 2” button

    Great job. I just added what

    Great job. I just added what geometry I know from my own bike, a 2014 Giant TCX SLR 2 in the Small size.

    You might want to account for the different types of wheels and mounting systems, what with closed dropouts and through-axles becoming more popular on road bikes with the passage of time.

    I also had to get back and revise things a couple times because it wasn’t clear at first if “top tube length” meant actual or effective.
