    I ride a large Scott Spark 720 (with a lot of upgrades). I love it.

    Any reason why you want 650b for XC? Would have though 29″ would be preferred for that?

    Or, if you want something in between, something like the SC Tallboy 3 will take both 29er and 27.5+ tyres giving you something of the best of both worlds.

    Turner Flux – 120mm at the back but I’ve put a 130mm Pike on the front.

    Orbea OIZ 650b, great bike. To be honest don’t notice too much difference between the 29 hardtail and the 650b FS, whatever you lose on the long drags you can make up for in the twisty bits..

    Done South Downs Way in 8 3/4hrs and 2 x 12hr xc races and it worked great for them all..

    In a more general xc vein, any love for the spearfish? Ideally alloy?
    Is there a Jet 9 Niner in alloy yet?

    My whyte 29cs has been nicked
