Of all the race bikes I own, my PSV has the most amount of rake on its fork.
That, plus the relaxed geometry of my 56cm size PSV, results in a very stable, neutral handling bike.
I do find the curve of the fork legs to be a bit weird looking as they have more of a kink than a smooth curve with a short area of bend then a short straight section below it to the front dropouts. Not as elegant looking as the curves on my bikes with Columbus fork tubes.
Not sure if the fork legs came pre-bent from the Vitus factory, but I wish Peugeot gave them a better looking curve than what they have.....
