Ah, but look closely: at the seat tube, just above the rear brake
bridge, I have integrated an LED tailight, wired through the frame to
my Schmidt Dynohub.
I rejoice in your envy!

I wasn't saying you need a tail light. I love seat tube mounted tail
lights, they're

Yes, but what, if anything is happening with that effort? There hasn't

Making the dropouts a tiny amount shorter would have solved that one.

But the Kogswell 700c contribution (note that I did not spell that
with a k) was ultimately for a 3-page report in BQ that provided
some logic for this here discussion.
I don't have it here with me, but I think it went something like
this: 700c is optimal for tires up to 32/33.3...650B is best

Just to return to aesthetics for to a moment, there's just something
right about 650B with fenders on a larger frame. Here's Noel on his

Having been on that ride, I can attest to the bike's beauty.
Unfortunately, don't have a good photo of it to add. Yes, a reflector
would be a nice add on, but the integrated light makes up for that in
my opinion.

What a difference 10 months make. Last October I ordered my Sam, and
being between the 52 and the 56, I ordered the 56, partly because my
19 year old other bike (Fisher Sphinx monster cross) is decidedly too
small (17!), and Grant was encouraging me to go big. But I also live
in Thailand, and
Eric's old Kogswell really gets me (and the groceries and kids)
