++1 for Liteville 301. Love mine and 650b compatible too.
Knolly Chilcotin or maybe endorphin if you want a bit less travel
Covert!
Can't believe nobody has mentioned flavour of the month, a Banshee Spitfire! I had mine set up 26" for a couple of months (with 650b dropouts) and liked it a lot.
Ok, so it's 140mm travel with a 160mm fork but rides like it has more.

Some bargainous Mondraker Dune frames at Merlin. Mate bought on last week and it is a horny piece of 26 inch bike porn. They are £1075 before discount. Also got Foxy for £975.

Some good ideas all ...
Dune is a bit beefy I think ...
Crack'n'fail well priced....needs alot of spec change though!
Currently looking at an Ally Bronson, running 26" ... reasonably priced...
Not convinced on the SB66 .. seem to be an awful lot for sale!
Pivot Mach 6 frameset I think would be choice ... but, back-ordered!

I was going to mention a Banshee (I love my Rune) but they're not that light and as soon as you mention one, Hora will be along babbling about fashion biking.
Those Mondraker's are so ugly. They seem to get good reviews, but that hump on the top tube is awful!
I've never heard a Mondraker described as a 'horny piece of bike porn' before.
More of a gopping piece of filth with that gonzo bump on it and the faded gold.
You are only allowed (on Hora's say so) a Banshee if you are a Fashion Biker. Therefore you must have matching kit, an Enduro (Tm) helmet, and at least one GoPro filming at all times.
Never understand why one of the main design objectives of those mondrakers was "minimise toptupe clearance", it's like the 90s never happened, or the 2000s. Nice bikes when they're not falling apart.
I have a Nukeproof Mega AM. It's a suprisingly ace trail bike. Bought for the alps, but ridden at Afan, Malverns and a lot in the Yat where the Dirt fellas build interesting trails. Probably weighs about 32lbs but I've not built it light. Climbs well enough, descends superbly and is just a hoot to ride.
Bought in CRC sale in Feb for about £750 I think.
A picture you say? Oh very well 😉

Here's a few options for you:

http://bikeS****y.co.uk/bike/2013-transition-covert-26-carbon-frameset-medium-clearance
Only medium available.
Bike has brand new front triangle but the rest of the bike has been used about a dozen times.
Not seen any El Guapo's in stock for the best part of 2014. Would have bought a couple of frames to build up as hire bikes otherwise.
That Enduro frame from Bike Scene would be my choice
Nice yellow yeti sb66 frame at Ubyk for a good price
