I measured up my spare 29'r fork and it's almost 3" longer than the Surly on there now, so that'll raise my BB probably 35-45mm, which will help a lot.
Another alternative I'm looking at are the larger 24" & 26"-wheeled BMX bikes; they have mid-mount BB's and are stretched out more, so it doesn't look like you're riding around on some 10yr old's bike.
However, recently I've found what, for me, would be the perfect host for these wheels. Just have to wait now for them to produce it....

I saw that bike, its super cool looking but the last line in that description said it all........may never hit production.
a BMX might be cool, a 24" might have a BB high enough. but I'm not sure how much more wheel base you get with a 24, you might be better off with the 20". I do like those skyway T/A bikes they put out recently, could be fun on one of them
those Loopwheels look neat but I would be concern that they would eat up some of the power from your pedal stroke and make the drive mushy, how do you like them?
