The Lynksey's do look nice, personally prefer the MT650 without the twisty-ness.

Bearing in mind how some Lynksey made frames have had issues in the past, it's interesting to see how they are using a separate sleeved section for the top of the seat tube, that looks like it's joined and welded just below the TT/ST junction. Neat.

If you are little, then the Kinesis Sync is 650B in the small size.

I wouldn't rule out the sync, I'm 6ft4 and have the lg sync, it's pretty compact for a 29er. Enigma would custom build you one or what about the new Thomson?

Cheers guys
Ideally the lynsky pro650b, but issues with lynsky????? Is there?
Then enquired about kona explosif ti currently unavailable due to quality control (lynsky made)
Kingdom ti frames only 1or2 yr warranty which I find appalling on such expensive frames
Moots too expensive
Kent eriksen too expensive
So I think I'll have a chat with burls?
There is also van nic?
Any more?
