You guys know about offset headsets right? You can reduce the head angle by 2° or so provided they fit in your frame. I can't be bothered to do the maths but with a longer A-C there might be no effect on the BB height ie. height to bottom of head tube with 120mm fork and 2° offset is same height as rigid fork with no offset.
Useful if you've got an old frame that is otherwise fine but needs a bit of an update at the front end. Obviously it's better to have the right bike in the first place... but if you have to make do

Nope, never heard of it before but cool idea.

Yeah, but
"71 degree head angle ideal for rigid"
I just decidied not to bother using suspension on that bike :-)

Quite the opposite here. Long torso and short legs for my height. I've found my old school 71 degree head angle ideal for rigid, but would prefer 69 degrees for a 100mm fork. So probably 68 for 120mm or 67 for 140mm.
