is it a 650c on the rear??

It would appear so although archetypes don't come in 650c.

That's why I asked, which kind of sorcery is this?

It's 700 front and back. The Chubb hub on the back throws you off a bit and the wheels aren't lined up properly so the front appears higher at the top.

I had to open photoshop to check that.
You are right, they actually are both 700c, just bad build and bad photography ;)

Easy target: so much to choose from, but the 700c wheels in a 27" frame are bad enough and then it ups its game with that saddle angle.

if its real its some class rule bending shit, that aint anti..

Coulda used the edge of your browser window, just saying

^ doing that actually makes it look like a 650

700s in a 27 frame are no sin in and of themselves - a nice fattish tire can look quite natural in there.
Not defending the above example of course.

Mudguard fit looks ... ... exotic?

700s in a 27" frame can look mint. I ran 35c in a road frame a couple of years ago as a winter tank and it was radical.

23c just looks like dog shit though.

You would have thought with all that space thet could have at least got proper mudguards, it would make it look a lot better.

Poor Maurice :'(

Indeed, I used to have a crash damaged Holdsworth track that's design for 27", but with 32mm gumwall tyres, it fill up the clearance great and comfortable to boot.

that stem...

My dolan pre curse frame snapped, anybody else experience a broken dolan frame?

Ugh it's you again...

@user49490 Buy a new frame, and look after your bike next time.

Totally agree. Doing it right now on old condor path - 28c and longboards is an awesome setup.

Should have bought one which wasn't pre-cursed.

That looks pretty good, might move my 27 conversion with 700x23 tyres out of anti territory. What tyres are they?
