Bike shops, huh?

Yeah, they're like websites, but in 3D.

lol

I just received a reply from BD, and the wheel size is 700c for the 43 cm frame, not 650c, as I suspected. From what I can tell, BD does not offer 650c wheels for any of their FG or SS road bikes.

^bummer, good thing i didn't order it then. I thought it would just follow the fuji track and come 650. thought it strange that they would stock only one 650 wheeled bike, but figured it was just getting drop shipped from the factory anyways.

thanks for the clear up! wonder why they don't sped 395 length chainstays on all hours?

Probably because 700c wheels won't fit with the slacker seat tube angles in the larger frame sizes, but they can stuff one in the 43cm frame. I'll bet it's a tight fit though. Also, maybe the Fuji track uses a shorter fork for the 43cm frame size, but BD uses the same fork throughout. I think you are correct that the WH is just a Fuji track frame, but BD kept the same wheels and fork throughout to keep the price down. Of course, for the difference in price between the Fuji or IRO and the WH, you can buy a pretty nice set of 650c wheels.

A mini velo will do... I recommend a Silgey Piccolo. With 20" wheels, it can go quite fast. I have a Schwinn Qualifier with Greenspeed Scorcher tires. You can set up as a fixed gear if you like.
