I would likely guess that I am not the first one to fit the 650b wheel into every bike in the garage the first time you get on home and set up. I was putting together a 650b conversion for the wife's bike and thought I would grab a few dimensions on all other potential conversion bikes in the stable while was at it.
The Roadeo was one of my more interesting canidates. The wheel was built up with Dyad rims and col de la vie tires that hit the calipers around 37.5mm or so. you can see a few pics of the front here: http://flic.kr/p/8Ff5uM http://flic.kr/p/8FieHJ http://flic.kr/p/8Ff3Zg The clearance is tight, 4mm or so, but it fit. Brake reach would be in the 75mm range. The rear was similar. I would put this in the possible but why bother catagory. The gain over the Jack Browns while significant is not that big, and the fender clearance while huge in the verticle would still be very tight in the width department. Now the pile of old Trek frames and even the Eisentraut maybe, but those are discussions for another forum.
