yeah it's pretty awesome
the 650b tires ended up being better than i thought they would
running about 35-40 psi in them, they feel nice and soft but they aren't squirmy feeling...
the wheels are nice and stiff, haven't had to true them at all after the initial build. i was truing my 700c rear wheel quite often when that bike was on commuter duty...

Just built, excuse the dust/dirt, I did a shakedown ride and took the bumpy ride home. It's also hard to photograph the polished stainless, it is obviously very reflective haha

Soma Triple Cross with custom steel fork built by Winter Bicycles (Thanks, Eric!). Shimano 6800, Chris King headset/bottom bracket, Stan's Iron Cross Team wheelset with tubeless Soma Cazaderos, TRP Hy/Rds, and Ritchey Pro. My wallet feels light.
