Michael, The Soma Grand Randonneur tires are brand new and are only now getting into wide distribution. Rivendell has just started carrying them within the last couple of weeks. I can't imagine that anyone has a pair just lying around that wants to sell them at this early juncture, especially considering the fairly extreme (IMO) price of the tires.
You might have better luck seeking something that's been out there longer. If 42mm wide is what you want, there's the GB Hetre that's been out there for a while. There's also the Compass Babyshoe Pass in 42mm, but that tire is pretty new as well. If you can live with 38mm just to try it out, I see people selling their Pacenti Pari-Motos pretty often. They are flat prone, but if you're just looking to get the feel of 650b then that would be a good way to acquire some tires for test riding. Suggest joining the 650b Google Group and post a WTB: 650b tires on there.
