Trek Y-foil geometry?

Have you called Trek?

does anyone have a Y-foil (58cm apprx) that they can measure for (virtual) top tube length?

thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the geometry for the Y-foil was the same as the OCLV
of the same model year. I may have an old catalog at home -- if you can't find the info you are
looking for, e-mail and I see if I have a catalog for you. What year?

No, that's not right, the y-foil had a very different geometry.

Point your browser at groups.yahoo.comyfoilOpen ↗ and go to the "files" link. You may have
to "join" the group. The first link in the files section is a PDF doc that has the geometry for all
Trek bikes in 1998. The geometry for the y-foil was the same in 1998 and 1999.

To answer the specific question, trek produced "56", "59", and "62" sized frames:

56 59 62 TT 56.5 58.5 60.5 SA 72.0 72.0 72.0 HA 73.5 74 74 SO 30.3 31.4 34.6 (inches)

TT = top tube length SA = seat tube angle HA = head tube angle SO = standover height

Notice the rather slack seat tube angle, and keep that in mind when you compare it to other bikes,
like the regular OCLV frame.

Thanks for correcting my mistake. I guess what I had remembered was the TT lengths were
about the same.

That's because the Y-Foil was originally designed as a LeMond product and was stolen (internally)
for the TREK side of the company.
