thats funny rob, because i have been riding a 0 rake fork of some description for 5 years. People put too much into what is and isnt good for polo. All this "my new bike is just perfect" nonsense. You think you build a bike to suit you? (you being people) I'm telling ya, you build a bike then you learn to ride it. You spent all that money on it, how many people are gonna say, "oops i dont like it" There are really good setups, but silly stem lengths, bars and saddles will make it ride like crap. I love riding other peoples bikes. Its a challenge. I really really like Tim's Oak. it the nicest Oak i have tried, but i think a lot of that is to do with how he set it up. If he had stupid length stems or a silly slippy saddle, the geo wouldnt matter. I can ride badgers bike, but he cant ride mine. Mainly because it's too big. But his isnt too small. swings and rustabouts.
