Patrick: My Ram has always seemed to ride like it's on rails. Very neutral and stable. That works on 28mm through 37mm tires. Mine came stock with 32mm Paselas but I change tires around just for fun periodically. The bike is not intended for heavish loads front or rear. I seem to recall reading that 15 - 20 lbs rear was "ideal." It has not fork eyelets because it was not designed to take a rack, but you can put a rack on with P-clamps (i.e. Mark's Rack). I had one on for a while with a "L'il Loafer" and it seemed to be okay with maybe 5 lb in it. I did not like it with any more than that.
