Thanks Jeff:

In your honor I just did some quick checking. It looks like 30mm of trail with 700c x 25. This is the same bespoke frame that left the Putney shop in 1969 (so re-rake versus custom rake is kind of relative here).

Your observation will have me measuring trail on every machine in the house. I've never zeroed in on trail as a go/no-go before. Usually, it's the lugs and lack of inner creases on the chainstays that seduce me. I can confirm there's no toe clip overlap ... that one is very important to me ... fixed or free.

Thanks for the kind words.

Nice tweak. I wonder if the fork is tweaked too? Is that a combo of small-frame ideas to avoid toe-overlap, or was it re-raked? Is there any trail (left)?

(I checked as best I could with a straightedge, and I see only a nice bike...with no trail)
