PURSUIT FRAME!! is it possible?
 

I have a friend thats going to sell me his pursuit frame and is calls for a 650 front wheel what if i used a 700 instead?? is it possible to do this?
hate all you want..but i really want to know
thanks in advance!!

A 700C tire probably won't clear the fork.

New fork, wheel and then different geometry. Worth more as is.

probably won't work from dt interference but even if it does, you'll give it effective mtb angles and it will handle like ****.

^what they said^
It's probably already tight clearances with a 650. Pursuit geometry is the envy of many. I'd try to find a decent 650 wheel if I were you rather than replace the fork and risk giving it less aggressive geometry.

Oh, and do tell - what kind of frame is it? pics? (i friggin love pursuit frames)

it was a landshark-steel for $300 but he didnt want to ship. it was an ad on cl that i stumbled upon...too bad it was my size
im in cali and he was in oregon...

hmm message me if you need a 650c wheel. I have a green velocity deep V :)

And totally stupid on the street.

Who says they actually ride these things.

And let it be known as the first and only situation in which fixed gear riders rode something that wasn't the best idea for street use. :rolleyes:

Not saying it's the first example of impracticality in the history of riding track bikes on the street, just saying pursuit geo - especially real pursuit geo - is really stupid.

I'd say any standard "track bike" would be much more practical riding around any given city than this:

They are also not cost effective and limiting in tires and tubes if you get a flat, you have to have several extras lying around so you dont have to order them and are off your bike, in case the local lbs does not have any. I lived in several small towns where that happened

I got tired of dealing with 650c wheels after about a year. Sold it

i saw this(being in oregon) but it was too freaking small. lately i've been on this pursuit-lust kick, been looking at the low pro

yea it would have been a little small for me, but theyr so freakin nice, good luck finding yours
