The 650b roster

3 650b bicycles (1)

To my shame, there are now as many 650b'ed bicycles in my household as there are 700c. From front to back, there’s Russell’s Kogswell, the Murray Baja Experience! (now with a SON dynohub and Ultegra rear hub. If I’d been able to find a cheap White or Chris King rear hub in silver it would have been on the Baja, but as it stands the Ultegra hub is shiny! enough for the bike), and the GT.

Note that all of these bicycles have fenders & lights (battery light on the GT, since I don’t have a dynohub front wheel for the thing yet.)

One interesting thing I’ve found about the GT is that even though it’s got a taller head tube I get more saddle to bar drop (12-13 cm compared to about 10 on the mlcm) because there is less room taken up by the wheels (and the Hutchinson Conféries on them.)
