So I am wondering how close the E440 geometry is to the other guys. Frankly I need to know if our rake/trail/wheelbase figures match up to any of the other bikes exactly? Anyone? Exact numbers would be good! I will be doing my own search in Google, but was hoping someone knew right off hand....

So, do you believe what is being said about running changes to the rake and trail measurements, so that no documentation is truly accurate?
