You're probably right, for now. When you've got 500 miles or so on the bike, you may find that keeping your speed up a bit and leaning quite a bit actually gives you a tighter turning radius. I'm just getting comfortable with that now, after 600+ 'bent miles.

I think you're supposed to be a giant dutchman to ride this bike - at least 2m tall ... ;-)
I'm glad it's coming together for you - enjoy!
