For whatever reason I hadn't seen Grant's comment about wheel size above until just now. I too was wondering about why the 700C over 650B, but it does make sense; with Rivendell already using stretched wheelbases there's plenty of room typically for the larger sized wheels. Basically, with the tire availability it's essentially a 29er! My major problem with 29ers generally is that on a smaller frame the wheels kinda take over the whole design and typically it looks less than ideal. Funky My Surly Ogre is a 29er and it's brilliant; rolls over anything and is just quick! But it ain't too pretty and I guess I wouldn't be here &/or ride a Rivendell it aesthetics didn't matter to me. It's little things like this that keep moving my needle back and forth from NO to YES or MAYBE???? I had a couple ideas on the paint. I typically don't like black bikes, but the black Clementines looked sick and & I would have bought one of those if I hadn't already bought an orange one. The Black/creme Sam's almost got me as well OR how bout a white or creme color with black inserts/panels??
