To answer some of the other questions above, my initial idea was to just use a stem for testing and determining the set-up. But after a while I realized using the stem was actually a nice solution, and that it creates simple adjustment options. At first i started using two different stems to adjust trail according to my whereabouts. A slightly longer stem to shorten trail for city use, a shorter one for longer distances. Last thing i did was spend a little money on the adjustable stem, but it hasnt really worked well. The amount in which it adjusts trail is quite short as the angle through which it can move is limited and it requires a bigger arc to make a real difference. On the Romany bike Im back to using two different stems now
