• Oh rad, thanks! Was too lazy to look too far :)

    @roadwarrior Word. I've read that both can be made to work (from different sources), though I admit I've seen 700>650b more often. And so I shrug! I just went back to the Salsa Vaya to look at that again, geo on the 54cm looked better aside from BB drop.

    I guess there's the option of a Croix De Fer & Fork swap, basically what Spotter did?

    @busseynova You're not the first person to point this out. I think I'd thought that burlier frame = longer lifespan, so wasn't too fussed about it perhaps being ott for the type of touring I'm intending on.

    Also I like the way it looks which is obviously the most important part.

  • You want more clearance, not less.

    700c - 650b give you ample clearance, whether 26" - 650b may be a bit tight.

    LHT is a serious tourer, I would strongly advise against getting it if your main priority is light touring/commuting.
