MX-L Geometry question

I have a motorola MX-L with the below geometry. Does anyone know if this is the standard century geometry? It looks like the TT is a bit short for the size of the ST.

All c-c
TT - 56.5
ST - 58
HT - 15.5

That seat tube measurement could be center to top and not center to center. I think for a center to top measurement, it's reasonable. And if it's center to top, is it the top of the top tube or the end of the seat tube. It can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Try to find out how Merckx's are spec'd.

I am sure the seat tube is 58cm center to center and that the head tube is 15cm. The TT is tricky to size accurately. It looks like 56.5cm to me but could also be 57cm or somewhere in between.

I am fairly certain that this is the most widely posted geometry chart of any ever posted on this forum...

Could this be Freuler geometry?

Does anyone have a Freuler geometry chart. It is definitely not century. Below is a century chart from GITA.

It is definitely not Freuler geometry, since that adds additional height above the top tube for both the seat tube and the headtube. Your headtube is far too short for Freuler, in fact it is pretty short for a 58 c-c ST, so I am guessing it is a custom.

Stock 57 is close to that - 568mm TT and 149mm HT.

Selling it? PM me.

Is it a team bike by chance? When I was doing research on the yellow one, I found that some people report custom geometries.
