Anyone ever used a 16 inch rear wheel on a Loopframe? I hear that CHP did
at one time, but have never seen any mention of this. If so, anyone have
one for sale? Pros/Cons.

I have a 16 on my eldo, with a 130/90 - 16 wide white wall dunlop. it is
very stable at all speeds and feels very solid. you lose some ground
clearence - there is no noticable gearing change as the 130/90 tire is almost
the same overall size as the 18 inch tire (almost) it looks great but to do
it requires that you move the brake rod stay to the left side swing arm and
slightly "dent" the hollow drive shaft tube to allow for the fat tire ( there
is plenty of room) . It works great on my bike.
