I guess one of the true beauties of single speeding is not having to think about how a bike climbs in 30/51t going up a wall in the saddle because it's hard to imagine where else a 77° STA on a medium or large frame makes sense. But yeah, on some bikes there's certainly a degree to which over-forking makes my seat climbing position better as well as my steep descending position.
