I too shortened my pyhon (by 7 inches to a 111cm or so wheelbase) and
increased the pivot angle by a couple of degrees to 65 degrees. The ride
improved quite a bit. I was surprised how how much improvement came from a
slight change in pivot angle, even though Jurgen has stressed this more than
once :=) The bike will now maybe fit on the county bus bike rack (for
slightly lazy commuting). I'm using a rigid mountainbike fork, extra long
for suspension compensation. If I switch to a regular road fork I will lose
another 3-4 inches in length but will have to raise the seat about 6 inches
so the backrest will clear the rear wheel. Compromises!
