Hi all,

Thanks for the great advice and tips so far. I found a suitable bike - not the greatest, but okay for my application - locally -- or so I thought. When I got home and measured the standover height, it measured 28.75", which is unfortunately about an inch too much. Now, I noticed that this bike wears 700c wheels. Would it be possible to use 26" or 650c wheels, along with longer brakes (or maybe mountain bike-style brakes?), to take about an inch off the standover height?

I appreciate the collective wisdom and knowledge of this board. Cheers.
