On a related note, Rawland Cycles is working with Kirk Pacenti to produce a Mini-Moto. This will be a 650b 43c knobbie. It's a particularly exciting development considering that many frames won't fit the wider 2.0 650b Quasi-Moto. They are need preorders for 300 tires via the Rawland site. I've ordered a set. Someone please order the other 298 tires!
