That was kind of my point. A well designed bike can made across a spectrum of parameters, and a good designer designs for particular ride qualities. Grant obviously has a signature feel to his bikes, and a certain amount of trail is a part of that. Great bikes can obviously be made with high, medium, and low trail figures (for example), but Grant should feel no pressure to abandon what he does just because there is another way currently in vogue.
