Thank you ladies for those of you that have chimed in thus far. Been reading my thread on and off, just didn't have the time to type at the pc.

I read the old threads posted about the 650c wheels. That gives me some more to think about. Actually, it makes me feel better about it if I do get them. My initial reaction was that I felt dead set against it. But, after reading some of the old threads, I could discover a love for them. My mind's open now either way.

Also, that's good feedback about the standover. I would not have thought about the change in SO if you need to dismount on a hill. That could be not happy. But, not so common. However, I won't weight the standover so much in the overall fit and back-pedal my freak out a bit.

Still mulling it all over...
