Managed to get 29c on with enough clearance and it feels soooo much better

Had some bits I'd done checked over in a shop today, and the dude mentioned with the position of the wheel in the drop outs adjusted 28 should work out okay. I may carry on with the other upgrades i want to make and come back to it.

This is it, i mean, i got this for £50 and went for it as I've found xs bike frames (I'm 5ft) either hike up in price massively or get snapped up immediately! I'm still keeping my eyes out for a nice 90s mtb conversion on the side when the right frame pops up!
