Building Bikes!
 
Hey guys i'm looking to build up a flip flop 700cc paired with a front 650cc bike on a bianchi pista frame. obviously the fork is built for a 700cc so i would have to deal without a brake. i guess my question is how will it effect my riding, it's a horizontal top tube so will the smaller wheel drastically change the dynamic of the ride, will buying taller riser bars/taller stem make it so i don't notice it?

this all for aesthetic purposes of course

Not a very good first post - but can we ask why you are wanting to do this? You mention for looks only, so I'm thinking your want the hot-rod look? I have seen bikes with the 650c in the back, but never the front.

all i saw was, super pista, risers, and 650c.

If you really want that 650cc wheel on the front AND want it to look good you should get a fork that fits 650cc wheels.

For max effect, ditch the 650c and go for a 12" wheel and 110mm cranks.

I'm going to guess that YOUR "riding" won't be affected one bit.
