650b is significantly lighter also stronger, you do actually get more clearance with 650b than 700c.

While the fork is not customs, the frame is (I think) and may have been designed with 650b in mind, short wheelbase is acheivable too, as 650b x 42mm is similar to 700c x 23mm in term of diameter.

Yeah 16" is even lighter.. This is straight from their website:

Tire clearance / Frame: Max suggested approx 48mm at 700c with approx 4-5mm radius for space for the elements. Identical specs at 650b.

And it's not custom, they have a geometry table on their website..

Didn't know it's not custom, was on mobile.

To be fair, my custom bike was build with 700c x 38c, 650b x 58c, and 26" with 2.1 tyres.
