I always stockpile parts I like. 650B is no exception. I used to hoard my favorite 26" rims and tires, too. Grant said somewhere a while back: "if you find something you like, buy a lifetime supply because it will soon be discontinued or "improved"
Not specific to 650B at all, this is good advice. Time and again I have found stuff I really like only to have it disappear, replaced by the "new" and questionably "improved."
Tan wall Paselas. Nitto 175 bars. Sun Tour Superbe derailleurs. Sanyo BB generators. Campionato Del Mundos (a buddy's preference, there). Non-goofy looking cycling shoes. For a while, Brooks saddles. Etc.
But, as others have pointed out, hooray for the interwebs creating an opportunity for the like minded to make and sell products. Being a niche user is much, much easier than it was ten years ago. You can easily locate NOS or newly-made stuff.
