26”… another obsolete chariot.
The wheelset, and many other bits going on this, are from the ‘posh parts bin’ or cheap eBay/forum finds, so the frame was made around them and the barnacle fork.
It’s basically an old MTB but with rocker dropouts, split-stay for belt-drive, internal dropper post routing, short wheelbase, @Hulsroy yoke for big tyres and shitloads of mounting holes…
I’m so used to 26” wheels that 29” with squidgy tyres just feels gawky & cumbersome, so I’ve backed myself into yet another evolutionary dead end for the sake of ‘tangy handling’ #sfss
