That is very nice indeed, super classic look & very nice lugs
What actually is ‘front load geometry’? Are you talking slacker headtube or more rake or trail???
Rik_Van_Looy-
From memory it was just reducing trail a little, angles are normal 73ish. Will look up frame drawing later.
Lugs were all quite plain. I like the extended head lug, I was originally going to shorten it but I liked it this way once done. The fork crown is hollow to allow wiring, and enforced straight blades - which makes an old fashioned frame format look modern I think - wasn't keen at first but now I like it

Built my own Rando last year, modern gears/brakes but front load specific geo. Like it so far.
I specifically went with small diameter tubing to lower frame stiffness v. my other bikes. And I can feel it
