Do you mean that the handling is what you like because of the frame geometry, or do you mean that
the fit of the bike is excellent?
If it fits you really, really well, you might take the time to figure out the relative measurements
between handlebars, saddle and crank bb center - you could probably reproduce that pretty easily on
another frame with careful choice of stem, bars, and seatpost/saddle.
As far as _frame_ geometry - get out the tape measure and the protracter... Most manufacturers list
sizing/geometries on their website or catalogs.
Certainly, the two are related, but if you don't want to go custom, you'll probably have to figure
out your specific frame size/bike fit issues and match it up.
Good luck.
