I have a 75 PRO 53cm X 56CM with what might be considered slack dimensions for 1955! ED LITTON has a corresponding large framed bike with the steepest head angle I have ever seen on a production bike.
     When I worked for WILSON BICYCLE we had some bikes made in BELGIUM or HOLLAND (I forget) they literally all fell apart as the builders had not yet discovered FLUX,later DENNIS MORGON ran into the owner of that company who proudly announced that they were now making frames for RALEIGH!!!!!(this is 72-74 time frame)
