I think I recently read that this frame does in fact make a great 650b conversion. I can't remember who said it or did it.
Anyway, good for your bravery for riding a bent (and bent-back) frame. My mother picked up a UO-8 frame from the street and gave it to me. It had also been in a front-end, and I crudely bent it back into shape and used it as my commuter bike for a few years.
