I've been thinking of doing a 650b conversion for long distance endurance riding. I know that's kind of an in thing at this point and I like the idea of fat cushy tires for a long day on the road. I'm sitting on a 1978 Trek 510 (it's a full ishiwata 022 frameset) that would make a fine 650b bike and I'm fence sitting on whether to do the conversion or not.

I'm curious who's done a 650b conversion, your experiences in making the conversion, and pics, of course, are always welcome, . Details please as to what worked and what didn't is helpful as well.
