Thanks, I feel as I've been thoroughly schooled in the term 29er. Honestly, 700 or 29, I'm looking to put a large tire under this project. I supposed the best reason I can come up with is because I can. It complicates the project, I understand that, but it just sounds fun to me.

I figure I'll be going with disc brakes, personally I like them more than rim, but that's just a personal preference. I'm not yet sure I want to modify it up to multiple speed, but that's more to save money. Besides, I'd like to try my hand (or feet) at a single speed. Currently my commute would only be about 7 miles, so its not all that difficult.

As to "breaking the bank" the cheaper the better. I was just hoping someone had some experience with some lesser known wheels. A few of the sites I've been on don't seem to be many reviews, especially for the lower priced tires. I don't really care for buying blind over the internet.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions guys.
