These pics came to me from former Specialized rep and current owner Motion Makers Bicycles, Kent Cranford.

Kent has some pretty positive things to say about the 650B wheel size and other than the tight fit of the Neo-Moto in the rear end of the bike he's pretty impressed with the set up. :thumbsup:

...Could a production 650B FSR from the big red S be far behind...???

It took them forever to get into the 29er game. I would think it would take equally as long for them to go 650b.

They make tires, too!

Their Captain is a great tire. Imagine a Captain in 650B!

I like it! I’d like to try that frame using tuned coil suspenders. It could be 32 even 28 lbs with large dollars. Too tight in clearance really, but hopefully OK on mostly hardpack and gravel trails.

But why would you want all that travel to ride hardpack and gravel trails?

Jumps, drops, and the inevitable rocky riding. It would be a "Cadillac ride" otherwise.
