I've done a bit of research on fork rake (bought forks for a hybride, and a 29r), and after a headache decided togo with 'an informed guess'.
As road/track bikes are concerned I'm a bit surprised to hear 35mm decribed as 'very steep'
Would'nt it be something like..
35mm = steep
42mm = average
50mm = slack
I'm sure I've seen 30mm rake forks before, but its all tied into the head tube angle and the resulting 'trail'...theres my headache again.

The guys at Tommasini probably know better than this amatuer internet bike nerd though ;)
