Yours truly. I traded bikes with Jan Heine, so I'm now on a 1952 Rene Herse. The 650B tyres are twice as wide as my Ritchey's 700c wheels. There are twice as many spokes as my Ritchey. There is half the tyre pressure of my Ritchey. Yet I'm not riding any more slowly. In fact, the ride is smooth, comfortable, and shockingly quick. This is my first experience on a 650B bike and I'm in awe!
