Patrick,
If your customs are 73 sta, your Ram has a shallower sta. Have you tried
moving the seat forward a little on the Ram? That could improve your feel
on your Ram. Just a thought.

Saddle setback is a constant; it's the same on all my bikes.

I meant to say that the Ram has a *shallower* st angle.

Joe (I think that's right): Thanks. I worry that while a fork with more
rake will solve the wandering problem, it will also affect the turn in
feeling that I like so much about the Rivendells I've ridden. I know that I
didn't like the turn in feeling of the Kogswell Porteur I rode; as for

Could it be possible that the Ram wandering has more to do with a
relatively short top tube length, than it does the fork rake/trail
numbers? I found myself fighting the geometry a bit when I was getting
mine dialed in. The short top tube, combined with a relaxed seat tube
angle, *seems* to
Interesting thoughts. I can't answer your question, merely return my own
thoughts.
My Ram doesn't have a short tt; it's 57 c-c on a 58 c-c st (if memory
serves). I have a 9 cm stem holding a 42 cm Noodle; the Noodle sweeps back,
so the setup is much like the 8 cm stems on the other Rivs holding
Forgot to add one tidbit: that the Ram's saddle is pushed back to the same
extent as on all my bikes, about 3 behind bb centerline. On a 73* bike,
this is indeed slamming the Flite; but on the 72 Ram there is room to
spare, though the saddle position is indeed rearward.

The handling symptoms you describe were what I was experiencing with a
couple of high trail bikes that I use to carry loads, a Surly LHT (that is
geometrically very similar to an Atlantis), and a Legolas. The LHT is my
truck for camping, grocery shopping, and the like. The Legolas is

O, that group... :-)
I asked as I wouldn't mind putting a LT fork on my Quickbeam. It's employed
as my errand/townie bike, and carries a front load most of the time during
said duties. LT would probably be pretty nice on it, but I've survived the
stock geometry so far :-)

Mojo has nicely summed up my experience. I also had Tom Matchak make a
fork for my Atlantis. My situation was the same: bit of wandering with
front load but that's where I like my stuff. Wandering gone. I rode the
bike for 6-7 years before changing the fork, so it wasn't a significant
I'll only approve it if the paint match is PERFECT. (I hope this isn't referring to the orange one.)
