    Oh, geez... I'm getting that "big-wheel lowracer" jones again.

    Legs- Rob's pretty small, isn't he? What would you think of a dual-700C Hachi for you or me?

    Indeed. He is a squished-down nurk of the first order. Dual-700 would, I'm sure, work fine for us
    non-vertically-challenged types, but that would cost a Several of our Britons' pounds which I cannot
    afford, chiz.

  7. That bike is a pretty amazing piece of engineering. I can't imagine that the advantages of a 700c
    would outweigh the extra height of such a vehicle. It would be interesting to see the results
    though. Craig (also not height challenged but would rather not try to straddle a 700c tire while
    sitting on the ground and moving at 30+ mph.)

    There'd be no particular advantage either way for me and Dave- we both derive from the genus [censored]
    sapiens biguglygalootus... we're around 6-foot-4. Rob English is 5-foot-7. I was thinking of what to
    do with all the 700C wheels that are sitting around the house.

    Rename them ISO 622-mm wheels? 😉

    There's a couple 26/26 Bachetta clones in the Portland gang already. I want to build something no
    one else will want to build.

    Pop a couple in the post? I've recently acquired a 51% controlling interest in a Ridgeback Day '01
    (flat bar upright), which requires a pair of wheels and a saddle to render it mobile...
