Sorry, I missed your question earlier.

My wife rides a Rivendell Bleriot, it is spaced for 135mm hubs. There is no reason you
couldn't use a narrower hub with a 650b rim. Just scare up the hubs you want, buy some rims, and have a shop lace the wheels. That's what I did. I got some hubs on ebay, had my shop get a couple rims, and then they turned them into wheels.
