I put together an album of action shots on my 650B converted Riv, here they are: https://flic.kr/s/aHskGLZQGt
Yes, I know my fenderline sucks pretty bad. Oh well. :) Regarding Toshi's comments, on these older Rivs the chainstays are not squeezed (dimpled?) for larger tires, so 38mm is the max normally. I need to get my top tube replaced soon so when I get that done I will probably have them put the dents in the chainstays to fit the 42s, along with a few other things. I have a Redwood also that is not converted, I'm running 700x38c Barlow Pass on it, un-fendered. It does have the dimpled chainstays so is actually probably a better candidate for conversion because it should fit the 42s or even the 48s as one other poster did on a Redwood. I just don't have time to mess with it right now as I have a new baby and a sick wife. I'm barely getting to ride at all at the moment. But that's life sometimes.
