Beautiful bike! - keep the photos coming!!!
Yes, it's definitely made for 650B wheels as I've fitted a set to the frame. That RD also seems to have the swing for a 4-speed block, which is consistent w/ these catalog descriptions (8-speed).
Hmm, I was going to set it up as a porteur w/ a single chainring, but this great sleuthing work is making me re-assess that decision. Thanks, all.
