This IS their specialty! http://www.rivbike.com The Atlantis uses 26" wheels on the small size frames and comes as small as a 47. If the OP needs smaller than that, the choices get fewer. It might be possible to work something out with a small mountain bike frame. |

Surly's Long Haul Truck used 26" tires on 54 cm and smaller frames as well. http://surlybikes.com/lht_comp.html -- Paul M. Hobson ..:change the f to ph to reply:. |

Low gear is 26x34, but can be easily switched to 24x34. Any lower would require a crank swap with a smaller bolt circle diameter, like any mountain bike crank. |

The Volpe, like you said, comes with 700C rims. The Volpe's sizing jumps from 52 cm to 49 cm down to 44 cm. The LHT goes from 52 cm, to 50 cm, to 46 cm to 42 cm. -- Paul M.
