So you're thinking 20 is better? That's why I asked the Bicycle Experts Inc.!!!! Does it make a difference that I'm planning on using Midge/Gary bars?
I looked at Voodoo but their canti attachments are an ugly afterthough on the frame, plus it has too much slope on it's top tube. Looks more like a poorly proportioned BMX bike. I'll check out SOMA, didn't consider that. I like Gunnar a lot, and would like to find a similar canti-fied Rockhound. I'm kinda' trolling the used market so want to know what to look for. THANKS!
