WOW, that pretty much sums it up for me. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Why all the hostility?
650B Envy?

I myself have no issues. 650B is just another choice. Unfortunately most bikes in that take the size are boutique bikes like Rivendell, or Velo Orange and I really can't afford one; consequently, I go for bikes that the wheels are common sized: 700C and 26" 559. I wouldn't mind owning a 650B just so I can discern what all the hullabaloo is about.
