Your orange (26-inch?) SS is sort of a grail bike to me in that larger size. My 24-inch SS frames were the largest offered in the earlier 1970's.

The same situation happened with the Varsity and Continental, for so many years the 24" frame was their biggest, while these model's much slacker frame angles (than the SS) made their 24" frames feel almost impossibly short, lengthwise, in front!
