I'm looking to convert a 27" wheeled frame to 650b, for comfy city cruising and grocery getting. I'd prefer something to have the vintage look, but I won't rule anything out just yet. I want run a large (IMO) 42mm tire and fenders, I don't believe my MAFAC Racers will reach. Plus I'm just curious, what other options are out there besides traditional caliper brakes?
Please post your setups, be descriptive of hub type/brand, rim type/size/brand, tire type/size/brand and the type of braking system (drum/disk/other).
I love zaphod beeblebrox's setup, definitely the look I'm going for:
