A canti Sam Hill with 26" rubber. I find my 700C about perfect, but for one thing: I experience toe clip overlap in constant stop and start urban riding (I use fenders). I would also appreciate the quickness of getting going with 26" wheels. I realize 650B would get me the same lack of overlap, but I always liked my 26" wheeled bikes and would like to ride another one.
