Well dated! ...
Ah yeah, using a high stem was the trick on the Merlin that didn't work, the angles of the frame are still too steep.
So just depends how long the forks are (or what travel they have)

Thanks for all the replies.
I mean it does feel a bit unstable but i am used to a dirt jumping style of position with no real seat height but i do feel like i am reaching too far forward placing bit too much weight on my hands...?
Knocked an extra 5 minutes off my 'commute' to college yesterday so im pleased and at least its getting used instead of being locked away.
