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 -

I use Garmin 530 for navigation on audax and touring. I follow a preloaded .gpx, say an audax event provided one, this works well within device limitations. Being old school I carry a printed routesheet as backup.
I also have an Android phone with me - can I use this as a backup routing device? I have Google Maps, but that does its own routing. I also have Garmin Connect.and RidewithGps apps loaded- can either of these navigate a predetermined .gpx route? I feel they might but can't see how - or is there something else for this on a phone? -

Finally finished this winter's build.
Based on Pretorius Ti I got from @andyp
Pretty sharp ride as expected - certainly by ti standards.
Managed with all used parts I had on hand except rear wheel build, hydro hoses and a new saddle - so economical too. Careful fettling has allowed in 32mm Hutchinson Sector tubeless (my favourite tubeless for fitting and toughness). Just waiting on replacement for faulty rear light -

Selling my Roberts 953 frameset, size large/57cm. Quite a stiff bike, don't know if that equals fizz. I ran it with 32mm tyres with guards' so 35 would be fine.
Currently split down to frame, but could build back again.
