I used to commute on 1920's/30s EF Russ occasionally, only 5 0r 6 miles and had to move it on as it was rather too small. Took some getting used too as it steered something like a wheelbarrow....
I now use a 1950 Paragon Andy Bone fixed time trial bike for summer commuting duties a good deal of the time... All parts period to the bike, really nice to ride.
it was the head angle and trail yes. You kind of had to plan any any sharp turns at least a week in advance in order to make your way round the bend safely. Made for a lovely laid back ride mind, I did enjoy riding it a lot....
