700c vs. 26"

The debate between wheel size has been going on ever since Mike Schmitt ran his leader with 26" wheels (or at least thats the first that I remember). In my opinion, there will always be this rivalry in the FGFS sport between these two rim sizes. I personally ride 700c but I'm no 700c nazi. There is actually a set of 26" rims in my garage but I haven't had the funds to build them up yet. But after getting my Bruiser and being able to fit bigger tires, I don't know if I'm going to end up switching. How I see it, 700c is a lot more comfortable to ride on and there are plenty of frames that accomodate the same size tires as 26". The only reason I wanted to change to 26" in the first place was because I have short legs and the bike would fit me better. People also say that 26" is stronger but a 700c wheel could be just as strong with the right builder. Next, I also think that people do way too many stupid things to get full barspin clearance. I don't think getting smaller wheels is worth the sacrifice of comfort while commuting. In the end, I guess its all preferance but I think I'll stick to my 700c's for now. You can see the debate over on Volume but here is what I see about the pros of each:

700c:

Looks Cleaner

More Techy Tricks

Better to Commute

Faster

26":

Stronger (maybe)

More Choices for Tires and Rims

Lower Standover

Increased Barspin Clearance
