I put 650B on a 54.5 frame so I could stand over it more comfortably (my normal size frame for a 700 wheel road bike is 50 cm). I put 12,500 + miles on it and loved it. 38 is the max size. I thought the handling in particular was great. YMMV. Conti makes a good 28 mm 650B tire, others available in wider widths from Soma, Compass, Panaracer, Michelin.
