Jim:

So you took a 700c wheeled bike & converted to 650b?  Ignoring the tires 
for the moment, doesn't that lower everything 19 mm?  What effect does it 
have on the handling?  I've read about picking a wheel size & designing a 
bike around that, so this seems a radical change.  OTH, people have been 
converting 80s era bikes to 650 with good result.  How did you know this 
was going to work?
