0 is sort of a blanket statement though. very little rake...
youre confusing the appearance of straight blades with rake. all forks have rake, and the rake in combination with the headtube angle determine the trail (which is the important thing which determines stability). that builder uses straight blades, the rake is still there, but its at the crown vs the taper in the forks as with curved blades.
