Quite insiring as I have a -74 waiting to be dressed up. Only wish my frame was in as good condition as yours.
I took her on a 70 plus mile ride this last weekend and she performed great. Mostly paved road, some soft shoulders, and a bit of pitted multiple use asphalt trail.
Climbed well and tracked well on the descents. Nice and firm on the curves.
Was a bit nervous about the braking...the Weinmanns are mega reach. Greater than Raids even. No problems at all. Smooth or hard braking all good.

This is my first 650B and I am quite sold on the format.
