Middle weight frames fit people differently than light weight frames even if they are listed as the same size. I would agree middle weight frames feel smaller. Roger

+1 on that. I’ve owned a Corvette (18”) and a 17” Speedster at the same time, and the smaller Speedster felt roomier. Note that handlebar shape and width plays a significant role also. The American was available in a larger “king size” format. Snap one up if you find it. Other differences between middleweight frames (and forks) include accommodations for rim brakes, and a design change around ‘61 or so affecting the rear stays.
