What matters in fork geometry is where the hub sits relative to the axis of the steerer (and head) tube(s). How the tubing gets from the crown to the hub doesn't matter. Traditionally, fork blades continued down the steerer line, then were bent forward to place the hub the proper distance from the line for the desired handling. But that is just tradition. Look at the Pinarellos of the past 10-15 years, Their trademark was a fork that swooped forward, then back to the hub.

That fork looks like roughly the same geometry as my old Competition, just executed very differently.
