Here's how I see it. You can't have a steep head angle, a short top
tube and room for wide tires with fenders all at the same time lest
the tire hit the down tube, or at least be too prone to hitting the
rider's feet. So, Salukis and Sams have shallow head angles and long
top tubes to accomodate
Yup. What I'm wondering is why models that are the same size would
have different HTA. (I had a 58 Ram and now a 58 Saluki.) Is it
purely due to wheel size or is there another design dynamic?

QB was/is 72.5 through the size run.
Rambouillet was 71 in the smallest two sizes, then eased its way up to 73 at
Correct. 71 on the Saluki. I think my QB and Ram were 72.5 or 73.
Wondering if the tire size explains the difference.

Not quite sure I follow you on this one.
71 v 72? That's the 584 v 622 numbers supplied in the spec sheets on the
