I've been low key after a Principia for a while, and just reflex bid and won a TSL frame on ebay. Clearly I didn't do much research, I'm realizing now that it's for 650c wheels. Cool?
On reflection, perhaps I can be forgiven for thinking it was roughly my size, the geometry at 52cm looks normal for a medium/large 700c frame. It def won't fit me, so I'm thinking of building it up as a nice but affordable commuter for a friend, but I'm unsure.. Any pointers?
Like can you run 26" wheels on these? I'm concerned that 650c will be annoyingly niche (tokyobike notwithstanding) for someone who just wants a useful bike.
