LOL, well, being part of the 0.837% is where I have resided for most of my working life as a green architect, so I guess it's only fitting I ride a 62cm 650B bicycle. Perhaps by the time I order my custom randoneause there will be lightweight, supple 700 x 38 tires, or I will have lost 30 lbs so 700 x 32s will work fine for me. :)

I did realize 3/4's of the way to Portland on the STP that I'd be SOL if I ripped a sidewall on one of my Hetres, which, it turns out, I nearly did: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/robharrison/4817049422/in/set-72157624011191725/ > I think it was basically me, Ryan Nute, Frank Fulton and a buddy of his riding 650b on that ride, and I didn't see any 650b tires at the mechanic's stations. It didn't occur to me to carry a spare tire.

Bingo. 650B is a "weird" even unheard-of size for 99.163% of the US bike-buying public. People will be afraid they'll be stranded with a bike they can't get tires for.
