I could have gone 58 650B or 59 700C. I went 58 650B, and I am very happy I did. I use it as a sporty brevet bike, and the pavement quality in the SF Bay Area is mixed. I really like the ability to run wide cushy tires that still roll very fast when I'm going to be on the bike for 9 hours or more. I've got a set of 700c wheels for it, which work with 28mm tires (no fenders) and short reach brakes. It's not noticeably faster (to me) with those wheels and it is noticeably less cushy, so I pretty much never use that wheelset now, especially since I now have a more normal 700c road bike to use in my stable.
I am absolutely confident I would have loved a 59 700c Hilsen also. I sometimes think it would be cool to buy one. Grant has one of each.
