A big tire gets into Toe clip overlap problems as the top tube reach has to be shortened,
in relation to the size/seat tube length .. smaller bikes are shorter too.
but the front wheel needs more length to not interfre with your feet , turning at Low speeds
small-big is a problem.
A Nice Bike without getting into these problems : Bike Friday, & accept the Small 20" wheel .
they have a toll free number, to dicuss the needs with a consultant to get the ball rolling.
and the Eugene Oregon Based company is a flexible JIT, manufacturer,
so the Bike is made as the Order comes up in the queue. .
and will do alterations for other than the average rider .
as you have special needs , they would be the path I would reccomend ..
it will be a bike Made For You, individually.
