That's another good point, regarding the 700c ones... Grant had recommended NOT doing a Ram, because of its low BB, and the 700c Atlantis looks to be lower than it. Looking at the geo-charts at Rivbike, I started looking at the Hilsens, since it has a 650b version and a 700c version; the smaller 700c ones have a really low BB, the bigger ones have a higher BB...
So, yeah... 26" Atlantis can go 650b, but a 700c shouldn't, it seems.... On Tuesday, July 10, 2012 10:13:16 AM UTC-4, Peter M wrote: > > In addition, wouldnt how low the BB is gonna go be an issue?
