I really like the look of tootalls Haro 29r so whilst having a look about at Haro bikes I found this, and not being too tall myself at 5ft 8" I wondered if anyone else had tried one.

Haro Beasley, looks lovely...

singlespeedstu, the "ladyboy wheels" comment has put me off quite a bit... still a nice looking bike though...

Schwalbe do 650b tyres, JRA were importing some IIRC.

Why bother though?!

i had the first 650b bike in the UK last year, raced it geared and SS, on some ( at the time ) prototype 2.0 tires but due to the lack of 2.0-2.1 tire choice for all weather conditions, i binned them off, at the time because i was struggling with them i dismissed any advantages over 26, but im thinking of giving them another go on a genesis frame i have coming.
