Smaller tyres front and rear, than you plan for, should reduce trail.
I reduced my TT by 4cm from my DAMP. I'm enjoying it. I would reduce the top tube as far as you can before toe overlap happens or you would need more than a 100 stem, as long as the reach remains the same you'll be comfortable.
I am completely happy with my Marino, now that I have had a few months on it. I thought I was ordering something really extreme, and that I would order again, but actually it is perfect. If I order another frame it will be purely out of curiosity or because I want something fancier.
