Bikes: More than I care to admit

Anybody do a 650b conversion on a classic Trek with 38mm tires under fenders?



Bridgestone RB-1 650b conversion?



No pics for some reason, but I can get Soma B-Lines on there. They claim 38mm, but are closer to 36mm. True 38's would require your dimpler.

I've heard there is a fence somewhere, but gugie knocked it down... I'm not sure why anybody rides clinchers under 35mm.

Last year I started with the uglyrm 650b wheels for the RB-1, then bought a vintage 650b set to convert a bike for my friend (she loves it), then built a 650b set for the Trek. It happened to be the very first pair of wheels that I built myself and there are more 650b sets to come!

At first I thought all these 650b conversion people were nuts... now I can't find any of my marbles...
