Eh, I've talked to any number of LBS sales people over the years to know that some of them don't know their product lines very well. A few weeks ago, someone tried to convince me that a particular company's WSD FS bikes had short top tubes/standover than their unisex counterparts. No, actually they don't but thanks for the helpful salespitch.

Now, don't get me wrong; it's hard to commit that stuff to memory year and year. I get it to some degree, but I think they should be careful in making geometry generalizations.
