My own aesthetic preferences aside, hope you enjoy the 26"!
makes me feel 6' tall with that long head tube and the top of the front tire so far away. One thing that's kind of fun is riding along those 1/2" ruts where the asphalt and concrete gutter meet and the wheel not getting jerked around. Talk about floatation.
