Looking for a new 29er. XC use no jumps or drops. I'm 6'3" so I'm going to be needing something big, with a long top tube. Maximum budget is £500. So far I've seen the:
On-one Parkwood
Surly Karate Monkey
Salsa El Mariachi
Singular Swift
Kinesis FF29
Any other ideas?
Please don't try to sell me anything.

Do you mean just a frame?

Buy a Voodoo Bizango; upgrade when bits wear out.

On-one Lurcher is a bit more xc than the Parkwood...
Pinnacle Ramin frame seems lightish/cheap/yet good
Pipedream skookum 29er for 853 loveliness, good price

Inbred would be a cheap frame.

Some on your list aren't that XC.
So, I'd say FF29 from your list but also that Carve ^ looks good but I might be a bit biased on the Spesh 😉
