Cool frame. Is the tubing metric or imperial?

Seat tube looks pretty slack to me. The steeper the HTA the lower the mechanical trail for a given fork offset and tire size. That said I don't see what implies that this bike was intended to have low trail or to otherwise be a randonneuring frame specifically.
It seems that the HTA was slack, TTs long and stems so short on older randonneuring frames was more a function of small riders on small frames (toe overlap) than anything else.
