This is a sweet riding bike. I hate to part with it. I built it up several years ago. Intended use was as a gravel and road bike. The frame was just too small for me to get comfortable on so it hung on the cieling in my garage all this time.
This bike started life as a 10 speed with 27 inch wheels and room for pencil thin tires. Using the 650b wheels allows clearance for reasonable sized tires while keeping the overall diameter close to original. Ride comfort and safety both benefit.
