I personally think the lowest bottom bracket drop possible that won't strike with 165 mm crank arms results in the best short area handling. Think throwing the rear of the bike around with your ass and the saddle.

Also 28 mm rake while very stable at high speeds is going to be sluggish at low speed maneuvering. It's a trade off.
