I won't be buying any time soon but thanks! I'm more thinking out loud for when I eventually graduate and have some ££. Steel track frame and carbon fork which fits 28mm front and back, I'm thinking it should be a good candidate.

you want to buy some tasty 650b rim brake wheels? ;)
But IMO if its a steel frame just get some V brake bosses brazed on for 650b and use with mini V brakes and drop bar levers for the best braking performance.
