Yes, the 760/770 were pretty much identical right down to the “trident” fork crown and full 531c. Chainstays on the 760 were not lengthy for a racer, not by any stretch. These were top shelf class racing bikes just a step down from the mythical unobtanium 170. Twitchy? Definately, that’s what I like about them.
Here is a shot of the chainstay length/wheel clearance to the seat tube, just a few mm’s longer than my Cdale Criterium Series. Either bike is an able performer.
