Not sure about any recommended headtube to steerer ratios at given angles and sizes, but ratios might help. In terms of single speed, the Langster might bring up the same concern.

mine and my wife's. The purple one used to be the colour of the wheels but i painted the frame. didn't want to respoke the wheels so i left them the original colour and i think it turned into a nice cotton candy combo. the local bike shop hooked us up with a sweet gold chain.

thanks. Yeah i took apart the crank and sanded down the chainring stepping up from 60 to 800 grit to remove all the pits and rust. guy at the bike store said it was really rare besides tandem bikes to have a chain that long.

Your cog is slipping.
The green Rush was one of my faves and I wish I had bought one when they were around.
