So I guess if you are hell-bent on having the BA's, then you would need a 20" bike... but I dont see a reason for this myself unless someone is just psychologically dependent on that tire.
The UGADA Tikit will arrive with the stock marathons, which is how I will ride it for my initial review. Once they wear out, i will prolly get the scorchers, which apparently do make a big difference....
I haven't ridden the scorchers, but I gather the BAs are more durable/flatproof. I don't doubt that the scorchers are faster, but I like riding through glass with impunity.
Just a preference I guess. I also would have opted for the SA hub brake w/ dynamo over the shimano dynamo w/ disk brake.
