It has always amazed me how little attention there is for trail considering how much it determines a bike's riding characteristics.
What do you think bicycle manufacturer do? Just draw a frames on a discarded piece of paper and hope for the best?
Unless you mean you finally realised how important rake and trail are on a bicycle.

The almost endless options in adjusting have become the most attractive part of the project to me.
Or just learn basic geometry like normal people.

Waaah @dancing james You get the idea :)) Didnt know these existed! Not exactly a complement to simplicity and weight, but definitely a way to enhance adjustment
The almost endless options in adjusting have become the most attractive part of the project to me. As soon as I figured out a way to adjust camber of the wheel (i like to ride no hands too) the idea of using the stem, and the options it creates to adjust trail and height came following. It has always amazed me how little attention there is for trail considering how much it determines a bike's riding characteristics... So now I use two different stems to adjust my bike for city or country riding :)
Kind of obvious, equal stems top and bottom has the best looks in my opinion
