[Closed] Finding bikes by geometry

[#10801481]

…we made a thing.

So nearly 3 years back now, I posted on here with an idea for an online database of bike geometry that anyone could add to, and would let you compare geometry side-by-side. A friend and I built geometrygeeks.bike and it’s grown stupendously, now over 6,000 bikes. The feedback from STWers was, and still is, really useful.

For a while now our most-requested feature has been the ability to search by geometry i.e. input some numbers, get a list of bikes. Happy to say we’ve finally built that too.

Spoiler alert: we ask a fiver to do that. Hoping it’ll keep us in chains and brake pads.

We call it ‘search by numbers’ and it’s here, if you’re interested.

As always, thanks to our regular users (must be a few on here) and do get in touch with feedback and ideas. We usually get around to doing it!

Best

Bob

(PS The finding of bikes by model/year remains, and will always be, free.)

Thanks, I found it useful when choosing a new frame earlier this year 👍

Yes, it's awesome. I bought my new frame, unseen, from the other side of the world, by riding other bikes and comparing their geometry on your site to find something more suitable. Sure I could have done it manually, but it was way easier lining them up together.

I don't read and memorise every bike geometry chart on the internet just so I can have an app pick my next bike, thank you very much.

😉

Seriously though, sounds like a great idea - best of luck with it.

I have to say your geometry database is a great tool for quickly comparing bikes. Much better than trawling through the manufacturer websites when trying to make your own shortlist. It really saved me a lot of time and effort.

So cheers for making the effort!
