The headtube angle and rake relates to trail, which relates to stability, which is a somewhat different subject. Bicycles used to be made with zero trail. You could ride them, heck, you could ride them fast, but they took some attention to stay under control and you couldn't steer them with your hips, which means riding no-hands was out of the question.
