wouldnt after all this modifying-

the bb would actually become lower to the ground?

since track dropouts higher then horizontal dropouts, and 700c wheels are smaller than 27" wheels,

and the front fork clearance would lower the front down also?


what I want to know is-

how exactly does the compactness of the wheels to the frame occur-

do the chainstay and seat stay tubes have to be shortened to accomidate smaller wheels?

and I wonder if the conversion would look weird with a road bike anged seat tube with all of these close clearances?


anyhow, I plan to do it to this bike:
(i have another exact same model schwinn traveler frame, smaller and in untouched condition)
this frame was in not so great condition, so i went and shaved all the cable stays and everything off this frame, and repainted it.
but I still have the other one in original paint/form condition

here is the one in mind for this conversion:


another pic:


and here is the same model/smaller size that i left the frame alone and is a conversion:
