After my initial ride, I totally agree! Open to specific recommendations if you have any.
For now I'm glad to know there are others who have done successful 650b conversions if I decide to go that way but I'm hoping it will be a nice ride without having to drop a ton more money. That and I can more easily play with 700c wheels that are around me
