now i remember my mate's bought a bike with a japanese frame that takes 27" wheels + fenders from brick lane bikes.
makes sense now.
the tektros will just manage i think... but that mean's i'll have to drill it. and what a shame i dont think this will be suitable as a polo bike. will see if i can find a pair of forks for cheap. i do like tommo's suggestion. or this might end up being a comfy soft fix ride with 700x28 tyres?
wow, h2o, mind showing me a picture of your bike? would like to have a look how you set it up. can't believe someone's actually got the same frame on here! i might annoy you further until i finish building this thing up... and from the look of it it'll be a while! for now, thanks a lot for telling me about the b.b. much appreciated!
haha lois, i have a pair of 26" mtb wheels i might try it on just for the fun... just the front wheel though, rear one's OLN's too big.
is that your harry hall tommo? or you have another frame (lucky you)? yeah sersiously, try smaller tyres... i think dhcyclesport on ebay do quite a few sizes... i remember seeing 20mm rubinos.
thanks guys for the input...
