Anyone riding these and what are your opinions?
 
Mountain bike 26" is a bit small for me, but I've always thought 700c is quite large. So I have a Raleigh with 26 x 1 1/4 which is nearly the same as 650b, which feels right.
It's a nice size, if they were available in alloy for less than £100000 I'd like a bike made for them.
BTW, the bike they belong to is for sale if you're a bit taller than me!
 
Nooooo need for a new bike chris :LOL: nah just wondering. Was thinking I could if I wanted try a bigger front wheel on the salsa sometime, but really its just an idle thought.


ps I've noticed american press calling them 96'rs rather than 69'rs.

I also have some lovely, handbuilt Mavic T520s on Deore hubs, less than 1000 miles since they were built.... Will be amending my advert in a bit! ;)
