Find an old 80's or 90's frame with horizontal or semi-horizontal dropouts and do the work from there.
Im running an old Sekai 400 (Im surprised it hasn't made it into the jackass thread yet) and I put some 700c wheels on it (should be running 27" stock) with the 700's Im currently running 38's and have room to spare. Obv I run slicks when there no snow or ice... but I don't mind beating on it. When the frame crumbles... I'll find another one.
Not to sound completely oblivious, but what does a "700c" wheel mean, size wise i guess. what does the c stand for? can't be centimeters, i know, but how is that converted to inches?
EDIT* what i should have done in the first place, just googled my own question on the 700c, still would like to know what the c stands for though....
Also, in doing some looking, I know for sure that i want a much wider tire than a 25 or 28, so that 38 idea sounds pretty good...
