As far as how much trail is too much, it's interesting to look at a survey of bike geometry on Dave Mann's "The Bike Geometry Project." I think you'll find very few frames offerring more trail than 62 mm, but I don't know why.
I got a local framebuilder to build me a fork with high offset (low trail) for a very reasonable price. PM and I'll send you his info. Fork is nice, but it took a long time.
Thank Road Fan. I do not have IM privileges as of yet. Perhaps you could IM me,please??
Thanks
