I've found a steel road frame that I'm interested in, but I have question about what rake the fork should I have. The frame has a 71.5 degree headtube and what little I can glean from a google search a 50mm rake fork might be ideal. Am I off base or would a more standard 43mm rake be better?
Re: fit. Say this frame I found is 1cm too short (I'm going to try to get measured and whatnot this week) can I compensate by getting a 1cm longer stem and/or layback post? I'm assuming I need a 53 or 54mm ETT and this frame has an ETT of 52.5.
