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
