There have been a number of threads regarding geometry and high vs. low trail over on the ibob list. There are strong opinions and proponents of each approach, and you can get a good sense of the specific tradeoffs of each design choice. It's probably better to start a new thread (rather than rename this one), if folks want to discuss this again. We have talked about it, and IIRC, GP even offered up some of his observations on the subject.
