okay, just mocked up the bike with a 26 inch wheel from another bike, frankly it looks daft, going to have to just bite the bullet and go for 700c I think. Not sure I wish to get into the business of trying to mix and match obsolete old british tyre sizes with wheels that probably aren't available anymore, I can just see it being a can of worms which i'd rather not open!
Does anybody know off the top of their head roughly what the total diameter of a typical 700c wheel+tyre is? Just so i can be sure they'll fit the frame before i spend money...
