I would not say I want to go 26", but was reading reviews about a the LHT and Soma Saga which sound like good bikes, but they only come in 26" for my size (51-52cm road bike equivalent sizing). Honestly that bothered me because I have only used 700c on the road in the past. I realize there are other options that are 700c, but I like the price points for these two as well as the good reviews.
