Hiya everyone!
This has probably been asked a million times before, I tried searching here and Google but couldn't come up with an answer.
I've been offered a rather funky low pro frame, 700c wheel size on the back, 650c (26") size fork on the front.
Despite the argument that it may make handling less manoeuvrable than a barn door, is it possible to replace the 650c front fork with a 700c front fork and 700c wheel?
Would there still be enough space for the 700c front wheel to clear the downtube, also no major issues with foot/toeclip overlap/clearance?
I'm sure there's a few people here who've attempted the same thing ... what happened? :)
Call me lazy but I don't want to always carry 2 different sizes of inner tubes!
