This has been an educational thread on the topic of saddles and trail.
In 1981, my commuter bike was a rebuilt ~1975 Motobécane Mirage. Along with many other American cyclists, I believed that cargo did not belong in front. So I couldn't figure out why my bike rode better when I had a handlebar bag on it.
