He wants 650b×2" IIRC so Kona Sutra is out and probably some of the others too.

Cheers!
Vaya is a tad steep, especially considering I'd need new wheels.
What was Genesis thinking with that colour? But looks like a good option besides that.
Don't think I can make the Marin's geo work with that headtube.
Sutra looks ace, but same as the Vaya.Big Bro starts to look like a better and better option. Especially considering I've been mostly doing trail riding anyway, I could do a parts transplant now and switch to a proper mountainbike set-up in due time.

My VanNicholas has just died, as I don't want to be without a bike for too long (and buying a new frame will ease the pain) I've started looking. Brother Big Bro seems to fit the bill, would need some fiddling in BikeCAD to get a similar fit, but nearly all components would be transferable (QR wheelsets, BSA bottom bracket, 30.9mm seatpost) whilst it can still be upgraded to 142x12 through axles if I would want that at some point in the future.
Are there any similar frames I might want to know about?
