Don, I'm not Grant, but I can hazard a couple of guesses.
The longer TT provides more room for fat tires and fenders on the Saluki, with less toe overlap. The intended owner for the sportier Ram would probably be more likely to tolerate a bit of overlap than the presumably more touring-oriented Saluki owner. The shallower head angle of the Saluki actually brings the stem back a bit towards the rider. That reduces the reach to the bars making the TT act a bit shorter than it measures. The taller the stem, the more that effect will be seen. The hypothetical Ram owner is likely to have a more sporting bent and keep the bars a tad lower, which moves the bars further forward and lengthens the reach. So, the 'luki gets a longer TT. Sound reasonable?
