Please help me out.
I was looking at the surly web page straggler section QA and found the following statement

The 52cm Straggler comes with the 650b wheels only, the 700c wheel option comes on the 54cm-62cm frame sizes.

Can someone please confirm that the 650b wheel diamater models will NOT accomodate a 700c wheel. The opposite is also supposed to be true ??

Thanx

Looking at the geo chart there's only 5mm difference in chainstay length between the 52 and smaller and 54 and larger sizes and fork length is the same for all models so can't see that wheels that fit one one fit the other. I think they just don't offer 700c builds for the smaller sizes.

It's more the proportion than anything, toe overlap, bottom bracket height etc.
