[Closed] 26inch frame + sliding drop outs, will I fit a 650b in there? (Old Kona unit)

I'm looking at buying an old 26er kona unit frame for my new single speed commuter and am just wondering if the sliding drop outs would give enough clearance to fit a 650b wheel in and still keep the chain taught. Has anyone tried this?

Probably? I've got a Steely hardtail (26") and can get a 29" rim and 37mm Conti tyre in there. Have you measured the distance from the axle to the chain + seatstay bridges to work out if it'll fit?
