Typical geometry of the early 1900s. The Raleigh DL-1 rod brake roadster is a fine example. 66 degree angles, fork rake way out to there.
I wonder what the handlebar width of those bikes was? The tendency to oversteer due to flop increases with the amount of weight over the front wheel (the bike in the picture appears to have a very rearward and upright riding position), and also wider handlebars can help a rider to resist flop.
