Not sure what the intent of this post is. I think I understand what the poster is alluding to, but to make these statements without regard to the size person or the desired use of the bike (racing, touring, track, etc)... I don't see the utility in such generalizations. Especially the 700c comments; if the intent is that geometry on very small frames could be improved with smaller wheels, that is fine... but simply stating that 700c's are overrated without justification could certainly confuse people.
