Full suspension that is. I know there are some out there that can take either 650b (not b+) or 29" wheels but I cannot find them currently. Could anyone point me in the direction of any please.

It’s not easy to do without compromising on BB height - too low in 27.5 or too high in 29. 19mm difference in wheel radius is quite a lot, and 29” forks are about 20mm longer A2C than 27.5
Forbidden Druid? I know they do a link for 27.5, not sure if that is just for mullet spec though.
Geometron G1
Thanks all.
The druid link is for mullet only sadly.
There is a lot to like about the liteville, apart from the shock linkage. Looks wierd and potentially ball catching!
Really like the look of the G1.
Was there a French company that made something. Pretty sure I saw it on here but cannot find the link.
Lots to think about.

It’s absolutely fine in reality, I’ve not owned one but ridden with owners and it’s tucked away so it’s protected by the saddle - no risk at all!
They seem incredibly thoroughly designed. Only ridden a Geometron briefly but again, really thorough design. More extreme geometry than the Liteville, might suit you or might not.
That came across on both sites. So much information rather than just marketing speak.
The geometron is the first frame I've come across where I'm not right on the L/XL boundary.
Scott Genius only one i can think of
Scott and some Rocky mountain are compatible when I was looking. Paul's cycles had Rocky mountain frames and full bikes too.

This is the way. Big front wheels for all.
Semi seriously, why does it have to take both wheel sizes? doesn’t that just lead to compromise? I assume you are asking as you have both set of wheels and are building up from a frame? Pick one and sell the other, you’ll have much more choice from bike designed for 1 wheel size rather than a compromise for 2. Or get used to 27.5+.
A frame that can handle 27.5 or 29 front end is a bit niche, kelvin is spot on, mulletable (if that's a word) is the way to go.

I've got nice 650b kit already. Was thinking I could change frame then change fork and wheels at a later date. No other reason than that. I've not got any 29er wheels but do have b+ on my hardtail.
I don't actually need to change frame at the moment but lockdown boredom has got me looking around.
