I give up. I've been searching the net for the past week or so for geometry information/measurements/diagrams for btwins facet frames. They must exist somewhere, surely?
Who do I have to contact to get hold of this information?

Doesn't seem as if anyone is interested but on the off chance anyone is:
A chap called Marc at the Lakeside store has emailed me back saying that he will be getting in touch with the Btwin product manager in France to see if the geometry information can be forwarded.

Nice. I'm interested to see the standover height of the largest frame if you are sent that info.

Assuming I get it, which I don't doubt I will (it just might take a while) I'll post it here. Even though this is not a Triban I'm hoping when (rapidly becoming 'when' rather than 'if') I get the Facet I'll still be welcome here!

I cannot wait. I'm hoping to reward myself with FC3/5 or Facet 5 for next summer. I was recommended one of the Planet X bikes and looks good value for money with full Ultegra. Being happy with the T3, I may just stay Btwin.

Being happy with the T3, I may just stay Btwin. I've been looking at Planet X/Ribble as well as Wiggle's Verenti Ultegra. I just really like the look of the Facet 5.

Apart from Btwin, all these bikes will be couriered in a box to your front door. Do they come near enough fully built? Derailleur tweaked? I guess you cannot test ride one either. Dec's got that new 'test for a few days' scheme which I would take full advantage of.

Agreed. Plus I absolutely LOVE blasting past people on 'established' brand bikes.

Think that's got more to do with your aerodynamic shaved legs than the btwin lol

Don't knock it till you've tried it mate. It's a permanent fixture now.

Small update.
No geometry information yet but I'm now in touch with a couple of guys at the Btwin Village in Lille.

Looking at this a little bit more closely...there's not one measurement in there that relates to the stated size, lol.
