Don't ever see bikes over 23" here in Cali, reason why is because they ride/look like ****
Here in Cali there's plenty of 23s and 26s riding around... In fact my local shop had 2 of them in last week.
But to quote my Indy in response to my question about handling - people put 26s on for the same reason others ride rigid. Bikes look cool and are great for show and bar hopping..not riding.

I used to think this also, BUT was proven wrong. A bike with a 26 or bigger wheel needs to be raked properly for the ride to be good. Slapping a set of raked trees will not do the trick. Cutting and extending of neck will need to be done.
