I'm seeing more and more bike mfr's going to "compact geometry" for their bikes. What I find "interesting" to put it politely is that now there are just three or four sizes of bike (Small, Medium, Large). Must be easier on the inventory not having to have a dozen or more sizes of bikes. Don't get me wrong, I'm a capitalist pig right along with the best of 'em, but have decades of bike manufacturing been all wrong when all that was needed was a small handfull of sizes? Even a lot of "upper-end" brands are going to compact geometry. What is the marketing department's spin on compact geometry?
