The 650b news lately has just been stunning.

Thanks for the link, btw. Good article.

This is not good. So it appears that the author is attempting to 'pidgeon hole' 27.5" wheeled bikes as the short guys 29er. That would be a real shame, and is total BS.

OK, i read further...I feel better with this statement:

“In a few years it will be the most popular wheel size,” commented David Turner, owner of Turner Bikes, “and (27.5) will pull duty in everything from downhill to cross-country, but on a bell-curve scale. It will see it most use in the trail bike market and less on the other ends.”
