.orgA different 650: 650c. I don't know the answer to the second question
; this size and the rims are probably off topic. Because of their applica
tion, satisfying ideas of minimizing frontal air resistance, no tires l
arger than 23mm nominal have been made. (with rare minor exception.) If one
is old enough, a 650c bike reminds one of the 85% sized cutlery airlines
used to employ for food service. Or how the world looks through some incor
rectly ground lenses for vision correction. There may be some Georgena Terr
y steel bikes using 650c wheels for smaller size frames, but they are not
brazed steel.Harry TravisWashington DCUSA
