Hi Mate - I know these frames were spec'd as 26ers - Did you by any chance ever try 27.5" wheels with it?

Thanks

Edit: Also would be curious to know the year this was made if you are aware of it.

I have test fitted 27.5” wheels and tyres, they fit ok on rear but front was in a 26” revelation forks and there was only 3mm clearance, obviously would need a 27.5 forks.
Not sure on year, losing my memory in old age, maybe 2007. I believe you can tell by where the seat stay joins the seat tube, these are higher than top tube which was earlier version.

Thanks for letting me know - I would use a 27.5 fork so the front is no issue, what sort of clearance did you have in the rear though - reckon it would take a 2.2" tire?

I have my eye on another steel frame with adjustable rear drop-outs on eBay, but if I miss that I may be interested in this frame. These Prince Albert's seem to have quite a cult following.

Sorry for late reply, had to wait for my son to come around with his 27.5 to try, there is at least 20mm clearance with a 27.5 wheel in rear.
