I looked to 650B as a solution to my particular fit issues for an all road bike the other year. Grant was very frame size dependent in his support of 650B and felt that above a certain size (several below mine) the utility of the wheel size ended its utility. Those considerations are fair for st

I picked up a Mod Zero as well. Same size and color. Mine will be a complete build from Mike due to time constraints on my end. I’ll be up there for business soon but I’ll be flying up so I won’t be able to pick up my bike in person. I could justify a drive but parking in SF is bad and I’m not sure

I picked up a Model Zero (53cm Green). It just seemed dumb not to. It'll probably be a few weeks before I drive out to pick it up, but I had the entire build sitting around. It was a choice between selling a lot more used bike parts or get another special niche bike for the price of a frame.

There are plenty of gravel bikes designed around 650b out there. For me, 650b is the option on a bike designed for 700s to go really big. Two wheelsets that I can swap back and forth - 700x42 (admittedly not small) and 650x47. Will On Sunday, July 2, 2023 at 7:36:04 AM UTC-4 iamkeith wrote:
