Kudos to @No_Fork for giving this a go - though I have a knack for repping bad ideas ;)
Would it simplify any of the issues around pressure on the seat clamp (I think @edscoble brought this up a couple pages ago) to move the handlebars below the headtube, like this:
This pressure on the seat clamp is probably somewhat minor compared to the lateral forces issue, but I wonder whether a lo-pro geo (and smaller front wheel) would actually reduce some of those forces as well?
