curious if anyone knows for certain or maybe even has a catalog or other reference for the geometry used for these litespeed-made Ti merckx frames.

That Millenium 3 is in a 2002 catalog I have. No specific geo info is given for any of the frames in that catalog, just one chart at the end with Century geo for all frames. They differentiate for sloping and level top tube frame geo, but that's it.

Has a 1-1/8" head tube, msrp $1925 (75 bucks more than the Team SC in catalog).
