mdcc has it perfectly covered but read this http://davesbikeblog.blogspot.com/2007/05/trail-fork-rake-and-little-bit-of.html
Of course it still entirley depends what you want from the bike and your sizing
I wouldnt suggest the geometry you have posted for any kind of street or road riding

Thank you. Interesting guy this Dave Moulton. The history bits of his articles are very interesting. I'll definitely read more from him.
To make the HT slacker I have to lower the BB. As far as I know the upper limit for bb height (drop) is around 290mm (44mm). But how low would you recon I could go and still avoid pedalstrikes on the street?
Depends on crankarm lenght of course. Being a longlegged guy I should obt for very long arms but I dont want to spin out. Im thinking 170mm as a good compromise?
