But the basic point is valid, no matter the size. Wasn't there some note not that long ago that the molds for the Roly-Poly tires was wearing out and there was a question whether to replace it? Even in a popular size, parts can be discontinued for various reasons, and it's not often that a good product is resurrected once the original manufacturer stops production.
I don't see Jim's post as FUD at all. It's pretty obvious that the small number of companies who championed 650b 3-4 years ago no longer have it as a top priority. That's fine, and it doesn't mean that the size is abandoned, just maybe that it has peaked for the size of the niche that it has. It seems well-enough established now that many custom framebuilders would happily build one, even if none of the mainstream players decide to join in.
