Looking for a similar answer for our 2005 Trek T2000.

I can't tell from Trek's website anymore what the pre-carbon Geometry was for the Crom-alloy fork. Thier new 2008 Carbon fork looks very "straight" compared to mine.

Anyone know if Trek have changed the Headtube angle? Or have they just changed the rake.

I notice the Alpha Q now only goes up to a 44 Rake.

Any suggestions for a tandem team approx 400lbs?

Biggest reason for looking at this is not for the weight loss - I have been told some good caliper brakes at the front will be better than the Shorti 6's as well as a little more comfort for the captain

Also just checking is the Fork length measurment you mention from the middle of the dropout to the top of the crown? (i.e where it touches the head tube?) if so the Trek T2000 Crom-alloy one is about 400mm. How much of an impact would the shorter forks have?
