M5 28/26?

Anyone know if the 26 inch wheel on the original is a 520 mm?
Right now mine looks like a Dolce Vita with a 559.
I just need those dorky 300 mm crankarms. :-)

No, but Bram Moens maybe? He could use a friendly question for a change me thinks.

Pics we want pics!

a 520-25 measures about 23 1/2 inches. I don't see how it could be called a
26.

Check Sheldon Brown. Probably a 26-1 3/8. They are common.

I don't know the ISO size "Mikael Seierup" <briangoebbels@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:br837v$g96g$1@ID-169681.news.uni-

Nah, doesn't matter. I'm not buying a new fork and wheel for it.

Heh, good thing I didn't go with the picture of the sheep then. ;-)

Anyway theres not much to photograph right now. I need to:

Buy and fit a rear tire.

Cut down steerer a cm or two to get handlebars as low as possible.

Figure out a good seatangle and maybe brace it with something between seat and maintube to prevent
breakage. (As possible mountingpoints don't look optimal unless I either brace it, have it _very_
laidback or raise the seat a bit more - and at 69 cm already I'd rather not do that. Guess I should
have bought a donorbike with 24 inch wheels instead.)

Stick chaintubes and gear and brakes on and connect it all up.

Get that bit of nylonstick from you for the front der.
