A friend of mine just got a Bichetta recumbent with 700's, and I understand that's a new thing- most of the older ones having 650-something-or-others- and they're fairly common in the local rando scene. It's not a problem really, just take an extra tube or two and a patch kit along. But I don't know of any reason to pick that, either.
