Yeah, not having a go Boagey - I just like talking about this kind of stuff.
Bike manufacturers' waffle about geometry gets pretty repetetive, and seems to boil down to 0.25-0.5 degrees off the head angle every year. I personally prefer a much steeper head angle than is au courant on an MTB, but I guess it depends where and what you ride. Super slack is great for steep descents, but pretty rubbish for climbing imo, and cockpits are just way too short on some supposed 'do-it-all' bikes.
I reckon small geometry changes have a larger effect/benefit on polo bikes than any other.
