I was just joking. Hope my dry humor did not offend. Back in high school I would have killed for a 650c tri bike. Actually just last night I found myself enveloped in YouTube videos of the 1992 ironman world championship and many rode 650c - but yes, good for shorter riders like Portland's Liz Downing from the 80's & 90's duathlon pro scene.

I do not remember what the original post was regarding type of bike (BMC?), but 650 is a great size for a good randonneur set up.....if the frame has clearance for fatter tires. I doubt there was clearance for tires that could take the edge off surfaces other than glass smooth.

650C wheel bikes are ideal for short riders. Too bad hardly anyone makes them anymore. 700C wheels screw up the geometry on small bikes.

No sure you can give 650c bikes away these days
