I am not sure about high trail or rear load bias, but i am sure that: a platrack with a wald basket zip tied to it and a shopville shopsack and a top rack with a large saddlesack on it on my 64 Sam make it so that I can easily carry a bunch of stuff. bike feels stable, rides smooth, and doesn't get wonky.
trips to the co-op, overnight camping, jaunts to downtown meetings with my laptop and other stuff, and riding around for errands are all totally awesome with this setup.
