"Not to fight about the numbers, but I want to point out that my  52 cm 1968 or 69 PX-10 measures out with 73/73 angles.  It's not built so I can't tell you how it rides.  Your generalization is not good."

Not alas a generalization of mine. But the spec'd frame angles from a 1970 catalogue. 52 cm is small and I suspect most of these catalogue spec's for angles, weights etc. were for a 56 cm. My '69 PX-10 sure isn't a 73 and she's a 62 cm c-c.
