Doug Fattic- You make a good point. Are you implying that 650b and 700c are equally lacking for a build of a tiny frame like this?

Also probably helpful to mention this is for a relatively casual, recreational rider.
What he is mentioning is that a 38mm 650b tire equals say a 23mm 700c tire so the rider will have similar toe overlap.
