kids build but either sold at a low price or simply not recognized as
having real value.

Yes 650B is the way to go if you want fenders or tires larger than 28mm.
I have an RB1, with over 30K miles on it, and I still like riding it.
It was even my initial randonneuring bike, and I still ride it on brevets
occasionally.
But it is not a bike for all rides, at least not with 700s.

Looking forward to seeing pictures and tales from everyone's rides!
I've got lots of fun plans for 2013:
Commuting to & from Broomfield on a regular basis (13 miles one-way), then
catching the bus the rest of the way to Denver for work;
Anti-Epic Gravel Grinder in late-April;
Various Rocky Mount
Would be a great 650B conversion!
