I'm sorry I missed this thread! Who would have thunk I was working on buying this frame?

It would not matter; witness the pinarello prince fork.

But, if a fork is custom bent after market the fork leg length is going to change, and that will affect the ride height and headtube angle, probably not in a good way. And, as the good pastor's picture shows, clearance issues can crop up, both with the down tube and your toes as you ride.

I think you need to look at that fork, Bob. Looks a little bent to me...

Yep, I've commented on it already.
Good for PastorBob, he'll be able to do more with I than I would have...

Makes the most sense. If the bike were a stayer (not strayer--that's a calf that leaves the herd), the head angle would be steep enough to result in positive trail.
