what sort of travel you after?
Ive just ordered a 45650b form On-One, worth a gamble for 200 nicker
Ideally 100-120mm and light below 5lbs, the explosif are not light?
really want a Lynsky pro 650b ti, but at moment can't stretch that far
mine wont be very light either, but i needed something that would accept a 150 fork ive already got...
Ritchey P-650b! Mine works out at about 11kg with very little effort
Theres been a few same threads on here if you do a search..also [url= http://forums.mtbr.com/27-5-650b/list-650b-designed-hardtails-838528.html ]here[/url]. Unless you got the cash steel maybe your only option. There is the Identiti AKA.

A bit heavier but a Transition Transam would be a pretty sweet frame.
What about an Orange Crush?

650b, aluminium, so lighter than steel, and only £349.99.

A lot of those are lovely but don't meet the spec re: travel
explosif!
I have a new Whyte 802 frame on a well-known auction site at the mo' 😉 . Lovely light frame, only 15" though. Too light and racy for me so most of the parts were donated to the #frankencove 😛

I think I was looking at your Whyte frame yesterday - if it's the one with gear outers still in place.
Considering a new S or XS hardtail frame, but it needs to be OK with 26" wheels and fork.

Nice frame, but not built to be light.
Explosif looks the part.
I've got a '13 Explosif 650b for sale in 17''. Looking for £700.
A cotic soul would be nice 650B? Cy?

Yep, that's the one. I'd imagine that 26" wheels would be a no-go though as it has a pretty low BB height with 650b.
Ska what is that frame above? It's gorgeous!!!
Mamadirt I see you chose one of the many local beauty spots for your pictures. Not much that can beat the Newport skyline set as a backdrop to the majestic muddy riverbanks

😆 @ wiggles
So not much choice for me at 120mm, May just keep saving up for the lynsky ti
Kingdom Double9 in a 650b size? I have one, it takes 120 forks and is nice and light. Cheaper than the Lynskey too.
FWIW I found the lynskey a little short in the top tube, not sure if the 2014 is longer though (should also come with bolt through rear end and helix down tube which should stiffen it up a bit).
I found the explosive rather uninspiring tbh.
