I ran across this shot of the new Bleriot 650B all built up. Very nice!

Has anyone found a geometry chart for the Bleriot?

I understand that QBP will be distributing them as either framesets
or complete bikes, but other than the frame sizes, I haven't seen
any specs.

A geometry chart is in the most recent Rivendell Reader.

Any idea what complete bikes will go for?

Oh, and I think it looks good, but could use some fenders etc.

As spec'd in that photo, I think about $1,599-$1,699 and about $699
for a frame/fork. Give or take $50.

According to a recent posting on the Bleriot Owners Group Yahoo list,
http://www.bikemannetwork.com/biking/p/FM2404 offers Bleriot
framesets at $554 and built bikes (a la QBP) for $1,433

This is actually 650B. I'd suggest doing a search on this forum--maybe make it specific and look for posts by DBRK, the local 650B evangelist.

650cc on that thing would make it really fast!

650cc would be the displacement of the engine of a motorbike. It'd certainy be easier to get one of them up a long steep hill...

I suspect you're confusing the Bleriot 584 wheel (aka 650B) with the size used by road bikes for short people, 650C.
