Anyway, there's no shame. I'm still happy with my 26 for now.
Yes the shame thing was tongue and cheek but I only see 29ers and now the 27.5. I am not very tall about 5'11 but a 29er feels he to me. The 27.5 idea seems to be the sweet spot....but I do not have $1200 to spend on toys. so I will ride head high and proud of my old school and dying 26 inch HT!!!!
