Good solution, turning the problem on it's head like that. My winter project was to convert my old Trek 610 to 650b while I wait for delivery on a real 650b frame. Didn't work so much because the rear brake bridge was just to high even for extra long brakes. The BB was a tad low too. I put the 700c kit back on; it's great and I'm not sure why I ever questioned it. It also turns out that my 650b frame is nearly ready, so it'll be a win win.
