Subject: [CR]Classic touring bike design questions

OK, so for the 15th time I'm redesigning Mitzi's bike. For those that don't know I'm building a mixte touring frame including the racks, stem, and fenders for my wife. The measurements I've been going on are from her '70s Trek and then using 26"x1" wheels and mixteifying it. I think not I may just start the design from the ground up. So what I need from folks is as much info as you have on your classic (or not so classic) touring bikes. Info needed: 1. Wheel size? 2. BB height? 3. Chainstay length? 4. Wheelbase length? 5. Head and seattube angles?

And any other info people want to give.
thanks,

Would rather be working on bikes
than waxing surfboards in Santa Barbara.
