Anybody tried/ done it? Problems encountered? Wheel sizing would be the first hurdle, I would imagine. 26 inch = 650c wheels, but does anyone make 650c cross tires? Anything else I'm not thinking of?

The frame is sub 4 pounds, just slightly too large for technical terrain. Dont want to waste it, so i figured I would turn it into a fun project/ slow cross bike.
