I'm offering to trade my 26" mtb rims, not 650b, in case that isn't clear. I don't own any 650b's.

Also, I do city riding on lightweight wheels. You might be able to, also. I used to commute on tubulars! That was when NYC potholes would win awards.

And rhm is right about custom frames. They're really not worth it.

As far as I know, only a very modern cyclocross frame would satisfy all your parameters, but I think you have too many parameters.
