Team CR,
It's really important to be as close to 100% accurate in measuring geometry, if you are going to draw any conclusions from the numbers.
I have 2 steel Serotta frames with 0.5' difference in the head angle and 2mm difference in the fork rake.
And it makes all the difference in the world!

Curt,
Based on your comments, I measured again, using tools that should give a tad more accuracy: 65 mm fork offset.
Thanks for pointing this out. Will correct the web site soon.
