    Hi
    As above says please.
    I am looking at converting my whippet to 650b.
    Thanks

    Stranga that’s lovely but the rear clearance looks like its a mm or two! Is that a 26in fame?

    No its a 650b frame, plenty clearance at the stays but just about enough at top arch of the swingarm although the Hans Damfs are a large volume tyre pics probably make it look a touch closer than it actually is.

    Yeah, looks less tight in the other angle, but still close. Elegant looking bike though, proportion wise.

    Forget that 650B foreign size, here’s a real British 650A

    Regardless of wheel size, Gee’s first pic is ace.

    Yes that was that National race at Dalby in April 2012 – one of the worst races in terms of weather I’ve ever done. Practice on the Saturday was in torrential hail (ouch) then the race was mainly in the pissing rain. A massive hole got eroded at the bottom of the Worry Gill drop which hurt more and more every lap…

    Great pic Gee!

    Cruzer only a couple of rides on it so far, but yes I am liking it, cant really comment on wheel size but it is so light, climbs and accelerates really well, all the angles seem good and the spec is top notch so once I get the suspension dialled in (never had Talas or CTD Trail adjust before)am sure it will be great all round.
