In a word..no. Even if you could 'measure' things like deflection, bend, whatever on a complete bike..that doesn't translate into 'feel' or 'ride quality' for every rider.
I have told this story..
When at MorgulBismark, shop sponsored a bike team. 2 riders got EXACTLY the same bike(serotta ti frame, BTW-Classic, Concours(?), not Legends)..EXACTLY..they went out for a ride.
rider 1-Stiff! Bright!, Great crit racing rig!
rider 2-kinda soft and noodly, vague, comfy for long rides but not 'crisp' feeling.
So..YMMV and all that.
