Tourer - 26" or 700c wheel?

I prefer the 26 inch as it is more nimble around town

That might be purely subjective but I agree with it. Theoretically it should be correct. It's certainly correct when trying to park your bike in a small space.

I havent found that with my 26" wheel Thorn Adventure*.

Is there much in it? I can't think that 26" is all that much easier to park than 700c. Narrower handlebars make for easier parking, but even there I would not let that dictate my choice of bike.

There's definitely something in it but as I said, it might be mostly in the imagination!
