If you run Rivendell's bikes thru a trail calculator, you'll see that the more all-roundish bikes like the Atlantis, Bombadil & Hunqapillar have trail measurements in the mid 60's. The more roadish bikes, like the A.H.H., Sam and Roadeo all hover around 60. I think the head angles and rake on any given model are chosen to get those trail measurements. I didn't calculate any of the newer bikes but I suspect they follow the same pattern.
