I believe it had to do with being able to cram a 29' wheel into the
geometry of a smaller bike.

I picked up Scott's 60cm XOXO yesterday. (Thanks again Scott) I'm 6'3, with a
92ish PBH. I've been wanting to build up an all rounder for a while, and this
will be a fun project. Always fun to meet up with another member too, and his
choice of locations (a local Burrito joint) was a bonus.
Tony, I'm 6'1 with a PBH of 91. Our tandem has 26 wheels, with Marathon
Racer tires, 1.6. The only draw back I've found is finding a front bag
tall enough to bring a map into reading range. However, if I had it to do
over again I would probably go with 650b. I think the frame geometry would
Marty, Congrats on the XOXO! I saw that listed over on iBOB and had to
restrain myself... easier since I had picked up a '93 XO-3 earlier this
year but still I think that is a sweet bike. Please share the build pics
as you get it going! I just rode my singlespeed'ed XO-3 into work for the
first
Oh nothing tragic happened to it... I (willfully) sold it to someone on the
forum... and therefore have little right to express remorse. It went to a
good home... I just miss it, naturally.

Well that is a beautiful bicycle. I have a 98 LongLow, also Double Joe and
one can also look at the finish for hours. I would love an All Rounder to
go with it though. Don;t sell that bike! You'll never find another like
it.

That All-Rounder is a beaut, I'm glad you found a stem configuration to
make the moustache bars work for you. I'm intrigued by the fillet brazed

6'1/90 PBH - have owned all 3 sizes but mostly 26 wheels, simply because
I've had more 80s mountain bike frames than anything else. Something to be
said about all wheel sizes... each has its own merits. But if the world
settled on one size, I think 650B is just about perfect.

Bobby, Keith,
Glad to hear from both if you! Keith that all rounder is a great looking
machine!
I'm really liking the XO-3 so far... And there are allot of older,
interesting 26 in frames out there.

I'm 5'11 with a PBH in the 85-87cm range and I finally picked up a couple
of old 26 MTB's to satisfy the curiosity that has been nagging at me for a
couple of years. I also finally got some 55mm 26 Big Apples to aid in my
experiments. I haven't made a decision yet but I'm seriously
511, roughly 86 PBH, my primary (only) functional bike at the moment
being a 59cm '92 Bridgestone XO-1.
I can't run tires bigger than just under 1.5 actual, and as currently shod
in 1.25, the proportions are admittedly a little unsettling at first
glance.
I can't tell you how many people
I've been playing around with this old Trek MTB. It's a 57cm with the 55mm
Big Apples on it. I never thought I would be comfortable (psychologically)
riding a bike this big but on pavement I feel quite secure and
comfortable. I still would not want to take it on any kind of rough
service
I love seeing these All Rounders pop-up on the list.
Keith: details please! Who was it built by/painted by, what year etc?
