Fuck it, go 650b and fit massive 48mm tyres on the Croix de Fer.
Don't fit 700c, it distracts you from the now.

Those Bon Jovis @fussballclub linked to are the tyres I want actually.
This will mostly be a road bike so 700c seems to make sense.

I'm still deciding as I've got a SRAM Force groupset I could reuse with TRP Hy/Rd's, but am tempted to treat myself to a new 105 groupset with RS685 hydro STI's and BR-RS785 calipers instead as this is the first new bike I've bought since 1996 and 105 is fantastic value.
I like Hope hubs and they've been good to me, so Crests on Pro 2 Evos sound good. It's a shame that Hope don't seem to make their £330 Hope Hoops version anymore but I have found the Crest 29er rims for £49 on sale.
They will be getting at least 28mm's, almost certainly bigger as the CdF takes up to 40mm tyres.
