Quoted message said:C Wright said:The latest issue of Bicycling Magazine (Sept. 2005) has a review of a
Pinarello F4:13 and, among many other things, they comment that "it's
also
one of the sharpest-cornering bikes we've ever ridden - your could
practically rub your hip on the road and not worry about blowing a turn."
That got me to wondering if, by design, one bike can really corner better
than another and, if so, why? If cheap entry level bikes are excluded
and
the comparison is limited to bikes with high quality aluminum, carbon or
Ti
frames and a reasonably good set of wheels why would one bike be able to
corner better than another? Or, would the major factor simply be tire
compound?
ChuckPure, anudulterated parroting of marketing BS.
The major factor is fear.

Sure, frame geometry and tire compound probably has nothing to do with it.
