Their smaller frames also use a 700c rear wheel and a 24" front wheel. As someone who currently tours with a child on a trailercycle, I find the dual-sizing rather inconvenient when touring: 2 tube sizes to carry, 2 tires on longer trips, etc.
All that is true, but bear in mind that riders that need Terry sized bikes are light enough that they probably don't need tires as wide as 180 pound men.
