How a bike feels and rides has nothing to do with the distance from wheel to down tube. And defining fork/frame geometry based on looks to me does not make sense to me.
Obviously I do not know whether this is the case here or not, hence my question.

This forum, as you may know is obsessed with rizzla clearances. Form over function sometimes for sure but slack angles just don't look right on a track bike. I can see your point though regarding the feel of a bike but I'll add in in what way the bike will be utilized as is important to check. My Roberts (later B'jammins') looked slack in the front but that frame build made it super composed in low speeds and went like a freighttrain when giving it the beans even when you did roadbike like cornering. It wasn't quick and nimble street machine weaving in and out. Roberts was a great bike and it didn't have rizzla. I'm not sure if robinmarine wanted steady. I'm guessing fast and nimble.

He just ordered a custom straight fork because he didn't like curves... is this a trick question?
