Its not unheard of in polo. You could ask in the 'polo bikes' thread on forum 24 for people's opinions. Obviously you'll drop the bb down, unless you have enormous tyres, so pedal strike a bit more likely. Some people (fsheil, khornight2, nktshane) have rear 700 and front 26, so you get a tighter turning circle, less jackknifing. I'm considering doing it. I've got an IS disc brake mount on my Kona P2 forks so changing it to a 26 wouldnt be too much of an issue, but obviously with v brakes or calipers you'd run into more difficulties. It looks odd on the front but I guess polo bikes arent much for the aesthetic value...
