Because I could?
I was riding the 26 one day and got to thinking that it would handle better with a bigger wheel (to match the big guy riding it). Indeed it was better. I also did a drop conversion at the time as well (more hand positions)
And when I decided to throw it up on CL, it got snapped up pretty fast, so there was the uniqueness factor that so many people down here are looking for.
