Yeah, I thought that as well. He must be a tall lad. My head tube is
that short that the top and down tube lugs on the fixie are cut into
each other. My gf's bike barely has room for top and down tubes. It
must suck trying to find a bike when you start getting down to about
the 5' even height range.

Peter Moore has some cool lookin lil' roadbikes aimed at the
'gravitationally challenged' or even kids. i think they are using 650c
wheels or possibly even smaller(?)

The smaller Trek frames (the WSD ones in particular) come with
650c wheels too.

BTW, I got offered at job at my LBS! It'll pay rubbush money,
but be a bit of fun on Sundays and I'll get to learn a lot more
about bike repairs & maintenance (and more practice truing wheels ...)

I've heard/read mixed things about 650 wheels. Some claim the overal
reduction in performance with the smaller diameter just isn't worth it
others say they're great and if you're a shortarse and want decent fram
geometry they're virtually required. I do wonder what tyr
availability's like.

Congrats on the job too...sounds like a cool thing
