I ride in the city though, with lots of starts and stops, so the smaller front wheel lets me get my foot confidently down, as well as the height difference between the seat and bottom brackets is less than on the A26.
Not sure of your height or riding location would affect your decision, but it did for me. I’m interested in how your test rides go and what you learned. Please keep this thread updated.
I am almost 6' (and 43'' X-seam, if I remember correctly), so chances are higher I can touch the ground, I guess.
If this undertaking goes until the end, it will be a long project because I need to earn the funding for it first (in progress, at least
). I will keep this thread updated and may add one more specific to model selection (options).
