and as for the 24" wheel, yeah i have it, but im just worried its going to be *too* small, and too weird, causing issues with comfort and utility. from what i understand, 650 will make it much less of a freak bike. right now, ill try out the 24, and see from there.
Depends on the kind of riding you do.
I ride the same frame with a 24" in traffic, and I love how it cuts. Seems more maneuverable to me. If you're used to a 700 up front, you'll learn to adjust quick. It's not that hard.
Besides - I tried a 700 wheel up front on the Nishiki, and it queered the geometry but good.
Don't do it. The 24" is fun.
