>>1232220>>1231737 for the stem.>aight, but now I'm even more curious why you'd be raving about how a slack-HTA frame handles with a front load, since you've tasted the fruit of the low trail goodness.I would imagine that there are a number of factors, it just so happens that this particular bike handles great with a front load. I can really dive it into corners, and it's really stable at speed.
It's also my city/fun/beater/getter, so i'm more willing to take this thing down staircases, do stoppies, and generally beat around on.
If I'm going on a brevet, tour, or camping trip, I'm absolutely going to reach for one of the low-trail fopchariots. (pic related, this thing comes out to 37mm trail, and hoo boy does it rip, even with full front panniers and nothing on the rear but a small bag.)
