It looks weird because the wheels are different sizes - I remember reading that Georgina thought people wouldn't like "regular" gearing on a "small" wheel so that's why she kept the full size rear... didn't seem to me that there were a lot of short women who wanted a 120" top end.

It also seems funny to see really tall people on really tall frames with regular size wheels.


Wouldn't this guy look happier on a more proportional frame?

When I am in charge, I'll mandate at least three standard wheel sizes (maybe 650c, 700c, and 750c ??) and many different crank designs so everyone can have a bike that fits and looks good and rides nice.

Sorry, this wasn't exactly on topic... but nobody wants to ride a weird bike, so your wife can use whatever criteria she wants.
