so i was looking at that bike and wondering how huge it would feel compared to my cruiser and came up with what is i am sure a really stupid question. i measured both my 20" and 24" wheels and neither are that. so my question is what exactly is 20" about a 20 and what is 24" about a 24 and so on?

Funny you say that because i thought about it just the other day after buying a set of old steel flange tuffs on the bay. When I went back to payafter winning them i notice the auction said they measured 16.5' across and I thought I had just bought myself a set of pit bike wheels until I measured another set of tuffs I had at home. LOL My only guess is the mesurements are rough "with tire on" mesurements and we are talking about wheels not just rims.

I would say the height of Scot's inseem is probably "32-"34 inches or so, they wheel would be about "64-"69 inches or so. take his inseem and double it.

I was thinking about getting one to tow a third wheel for Jr. Wonder if it would clear the back tire.

What are the going for? My LBS has one for $550 but they are pretty cool and I figure they'd come down for a regular shopper
