Just thinking about bikes and sizes etc and the (probably silly) idea popped into my mind of a bike with a 700c back wheel and a 650c front wheel...
Aside from looking like a dragster and the need to swap out the forks, anybody think of a reason why this could be a bad move? it might get you into a really aggressive aero position, you could use a larger frame than you otherwise might if you have short legs and a long body, and it would give you an amazing seat angle too!
Just a thought!

It probably went out of vogue due to it being slightly more expensive,and the 650 components not being as readily available,but with the advent of the interweb sourcing cheaper parts has never been easier so you could be starting a retro trend.
Disadvantage is that you have to carry two different size tubs/inners incase of punctures etc.
Just up your street nivagh! Retro style.....
I like the "bad back, bad knee and old age..." as the reason for sale. Can't see anybody paying a grand for a steel frame nowadays though!
Bad back, knees, etc is hardly a good advertisment for it is it?! Haha, no bid from you then?
