I just took the front rack off my Bike Friday (got right hooked and the only damage was my Nitto rack got bent). There is a noticeable difference riding with the front weighted versus unweighted. It's not wobbly, but I definitely was oversteering at first. Now that I am used to the unweighted front, I only notice it when I climb. If I'm pulling up on the handlebars to climb, I do need to shift my weight forward more than I was before. I would describe the handling as "more responsive" than a traditional bike - with a regular bike, you think about a move and then do it. With a smaller wheeled bike, the move is complete before your thought is complete =).
