   I saw this and wondered a few things...
   -which retailers stock 650b rims and tires?
   -do they come with 650b specific forks, or are they 26/29'' variants? The nemesis has a specific fork, but the Dragon doesn't appear to.
   -who else, besides Pipedream, make 650b frames?

   

   Cheers,
   Rich

   Soma make the B-Side

   we put Fox f100s on it - though White Bros make specific forks.

   tyres mostly imported from the States I think. Rims? Velocity do some and are readily available.

   may i ask a simple question, WHY!?

   all i can see is people being left with no spares in a few years, how many remember the early Cannondale 24" rear wheel bikes.

   650b is good if only because they are measured in metric!

   where i'm living is quite flat so i'd like a bigger wheel. Sadly, i don't like the look of 29ers.

   White bros make specific forks? I bet they'll be expensive too
