Okay,

So I'm kinda between a size 54 (feels a lot more comfortable) and a 56 surly long haul trucker. I liked the 54 better. Felt solid. The 56 feel a bit big and more like a hybrid comfort bike. Problem is that the 54 comes only in size 26 wheels; not the 700's that the 56 has.

My question is: is that a deal breaker? Are the 700's that much better?
