I test rode the The Stumpy 26" and 29" and the camber all great bikes,I preferred the camber and 110 travel is more than enough for xc/trail centre riding, still got the Norco for uplifts and SC etc and a road bike, so sort of got all types of riding i do pretty much covered now . 700c is the same Diameter as 650b isn't it ?
Actually its the same as your 29er, but running skinny 25mm tyres they end up similar to a 26" with a 2.3-2.5 tyre. Check your roadie wheels against one
The bike is a Forme Brute and came with 26" wheels and 2.1 Kenda tyres and crappy gears and cable disc brakes, but I changed all that over to some old school 8spd XTR bits I'd got lying around. Brakes are the originals taken off my Pitch - Avid Elixir 5's The new wheels are these superstar.tibolts.co.uk/popup_image.php?pID=623 Should fly on the roads!!
I should have wednesday off, but I'm just getting over a shitty cold from the weekend, so not sure yet. It looks like it'll be wet if the weather report is correct.
We do need to get together sometime over the holiday. It's been ages since you, me and Derek met up.
It's all this poxy work that's screwing with riding time!!
I'm off from 21st to 2nd so we might be able to arrange something
