I can't recall the top tube length of the 57cm I had, but the angles were ridiculously steep; 75 degrees parallel.

It wasn't a comfy ride. My weight was far too forward due to the seat tube angle, and it was more than a bit too quick handling.

Does anyone have TT length for a 1983 or 84 Gios Torino, "57cm" model? I know that the modern geom for their current steel models uses a 55TT (the smaller models are 'square' while the 55 and up have shorter TTs. Was the early 80s Torino the same, or were they all 'square' or what? Can't find a catalog with a chart.
