As mentioned, top tubes are what will limit your choices. Would a Hillborne work, or is the TT too long?
If not, how about a Salsa Vaya? Smaller sizes have 26" wheels and fit 50mm tires. Is the 50cm TT too long? http://pathlesspedaled.com/2012/12/salsa-vaya-1000-mile-review-or-our-thoughts-on-salsa-vaya-vs-surly-lht/ Sound like real great bikes! If you can find one, a used Salsa La Cruz in their 47cm size easily converts to 650B: http://salsacycles.com/files/pages/LaCruz.pdf I've done that and love it, but has a 53cm TT.
