Weirdly sized racing frames
I'm in the market for a vintage racer, but I'm looking for frames with odd measurements. I'm hoping I can get a list going of what to be on the lookout for.
I'm thinking 63-64cm ST with a 55-56cm TT. Does this exist? Not looking to do a custom build.
I've read the Fuji Finest falls into this category. Anyone know the TT measurement on a 64cm Fuji Finest?
What are some other frames built with these specs?

Weird enough I saw a Merckx frame on ebay last month with this type of sizing , it ended up going for cheap ish (for a Merckx) I think. I'll see if I can find that listing
Edit:
Ah here it is , looks like it didn't sell at all.
Geometry
Top tube : 56.5 CC (center-to-center)
Seat tube : 61.5 CC (center-to-center)

I seem to remember the Gios had short TTs compared to the seat tube.
Here's a Link to a completed auction. Frame is 61x57
