GT Tachyon
I have a friend who wants to sell me his 100% original 1991 Tachyon. The bike fits & the price is reasonable. Anybody ride one? If so, have you tried running 650B tires on the unusual 700d rims? It's a quirky & unusual bike that you just don't see everyday...thanks

I haven't ridden a Tachyon, but I rode a Continuum for a couple of years about 10 years ago. They look to be pretty much the same bike except for flat bars on the Continuum. I thought it was a good rider. In fact I still have it and was thinking I might do something of a rebuild on it this winter.

Tires are supposed to be compatible. I've only seen one, never rode one. Niche collectibility-wise, I could see it being the next XO-1 if Radivist or someone like that started waxing eloquently about it.
