it's a bare frame right now, and I've never posted a pic before, internet addicted and ignernt.

The bottom bracket height on the 700 with 35mm tires is about the same as the 26" with 1.5" tires. I put on 1.75" Panaracer Pro-Serv tires and and it's a smidge higher with standover height a smidge higher. Starting to feel silly I've done this as I'm building the bike up. "yep, it's a LHT". With the wheels you can almost imagine it's a much taller bike. More room for the Jandd frame bag that fits on my other 26" bike but not on the 700c bikes. Have to cut the steerer and get the rest of it together before I can report on the ride.
