Geometry strikes me a bit odd - long chainstays and not much fork rake?

I am not a Guru. As it's stated on the Web there is much confusion about identifying one of these. I was just mentioning the rims. This is a full size bike. The largest one they made. What is so odd? This Bike was ridden not all that much, and then forgotten for 30+ years. It probably had a nicer saddle at one time also. Somebody did what most people do. Bought it, road it, got tired of it, and gave it away, or kept it, and forgot about it. I wouldn't be surprised if it had a Brooks Saddle and somebody threw it away because they thought it was ugly.
