Once again, the 5-hole is an optical illusion. ;)
Its 44" from axle to axle only a few inches more than most bikes. But yes its a wide and it sucks, sometimes.

Rollo Pollo round two
Freewheel
35x22
Rear brake
Edit:
As of December 2009 I have changed my tires to 2.0" Big Apple in the front and a 1.75" Continental Touring Plus tire in the back.
My rear wheel is now a noname 48 hole 135mm spaced hub laced to a 26" Salsa El Gordo in a 3 cross pattern. It has a 22 tooth ACS freewheel giving it an overall ratio of 1.59 or 35x22.
My front wheel is a Sansin SE (Suntour) 40 hole high flange tandem hub laced in a 4 cross pattern.
MKE Pologuard with 165mm cranks.
wait is it an illusion or does it suck all those times when people drop big fat goals through that gigantic 5-hole? quite confusing us. do we need a moderator for this post in o10?
Nice choice on the rear wheel, I've got the same rim and an old BMX hub on mine.
This is one of the most laid back looking bikes I've ever seen. Looks tough!
yeh looks wider than my 29er!!!!!!!!!!
