Also, it's made for 700c wheels. I don't know if the brake bosses would line up for 26" wheels. (I don't have any experiences with 26's.)

I'll post a photo of the fender "issue" in a minute....
How do you like the Nashbar X frame? I've got some 700 wheels/135mm rear hub that I've been looking to put on a frame, and I keep looking at that one. I ride mostly flat streets in the general vicinity.
