Posted these 3 steel 650B single speeds over in the SS forum:

Been riding 650B since 2010.

Currently riding a 2007 Ted Wojcik "Yo Teddy" (single speed conversion performed by Circle A Cycles in 2012):



Before this, I had my 1994 Rhygin Ra sporting 650Bs (currently retired):



And the bike that got it all started, my 2010 Igleheart 953 650B:

I also had this steel 650B, a 2009 Independent Fabrication Deluxe (650B conversion performed by Circle A Cycles in 2011).

With rim brakes:



And then with disc brakes (set up as a 2x1; photo taken before front derailleur & brakes were installed):

The Jamis Dragon 650 are great, my son and I have been riding them since last summer. There handle great will climb any thing and ride very smooth. The hot setup is 2.35 Nobby Nic tire tubeless at 19 psi front & 23 psi rear.
If you get one get a frame and build it up.

I like the geometry so much I am having Kent Erikson build one out of Ti in a custom size with very similar geometry ( I always wanted a custom Ti bike).

BTW, I will be selling my 15" frame after I get my Erikenson in a few weeks.
