This Ribble looks ace.
I'm sure you'll never have a problem running road pedals, but if you do ever run wider or flat pedals be careful of pedal strike. Your bb will have dropped a bit with the conversion.
I ran double sided (atacs on side, flats on the other) pedals. They were a bit wide and I ended up in a ditch, at midnight, miles from anywhere, with a busted kneecap and bent rear wheel :-0 650b conversions are still ace, once the build problems are sorted they make amazingly practical bikes.

my friend is considering going 650b on her CdF, mainly because it's a little bike and 32c+ tyres look ridiculous and increase the standover height too much...
I was going to help her with it, but what are the things to look out for?

650b conversion finally finished to the point of being rideable. Featuring custom fork with Compass extra bendy legs.
It's been a bit of an ordeal - I've had to take the front wheel back to the shop because they built it wrong, Dremel the freehub to fit an 11spd cassette on and resort to using a v-brake on the front with a travel agent to get decent braking.
