I've only had a couple of comments about my 26"-wheeled XO-1. One fellow commented on the long wheelbase, mistaking the roomy clearance for fat tires for axle to axle stretch, I think. Another comment when I was jamming on a club ride that I was "pretty fast on that thing." It is a pretty lively bike with 1.5" Paselas! I''ve never felt it was notably slow due to the small wheels, and they sure accelerate quick. (also noted on my 26" Bianchi Milano fixed gear conversion commuter) No one's ever noticed the wheelsize on my 650b Saluki--testament to the proportional appearance of 650bX38 wheels/tires on a 54cm frame, I think. I have gotten a couple of comments on the "fancy," bags on my Saluki and other Rivs, though.
