Any 650B enthusiasts out there?
With the cult popularity of the Rivendell Saluki/Glorius and the old French 650B wheel size promoted by Grant Peterson there has been a tiny movement to covert some older road bikes to this wheel size. The obvious advantages are the fitting of a fatter tire for a more comfortable ride and a more useful bike for commuting and touring (and arguably better looks). More info and pics of some cool conversions available here at

650B rocks! However I have doubts that this thread will be very popular.
Here are my pics of my '88 Schwinn Le Tour 650B that is also a three-speed conversion:
