The frame looks like the seat tube is very laid back, maybe as far as 70 degrees, and the head tube maybe 72, but that seems to target the same geo and feel as the early '40s and '50s Club style bikes released by Raleigh from Nottingham. The low-curved fork looks like it has a lot of offset, and that suggests a pretty low trail. However, it's dodgy to compare geometries without a tape measure and an angle finder.
