Ooh, the 650b with big tires look ace. Might start looking out for a second wheel set. What's the biggest tire you can fit on a 700c in your experience? Site mentions 35, but looks like there's more room than that?
Tijmen-
@Tijmen yep they are fun:-)
Haven't tried anything bigger than 32 on 700c but there's loads of clearance left.
I reckon 38-42mm would fit (measured as 45mm between the stays), forks are likely to be the limiting factor I think...

Nice one.
Yep, 30.9 is a fun size to look for! I ended up with a Thomson for mine too.
I built up a cheap 650B wheelset to run comfy tyres on and have a spare cross fork with a rack on for silly shopping duties.
Have fun! I bloody love mine:-)
