Thanks for the thoughts, basically I've ridden road for 10 years and want to have some fun in the woods. 27.5 sounds more of what I want from a mtb, although point taken about 29 being better for long days covering distance. Yes I'm in Herts and that's very kind, think I've concluded 650b is what I'll try but if I have any doubts I'll get in touch, or maybe post purchase thanks! Lovely bike too.
@Aroogah it does look a bit much I agree, those grips...

Had a squiz at the geometry and think it would be good for your height (I’m the same height and really considered this frame a few months ago). Also think you could really easily make it look great!
If you’re coming from a bmx background I also think you’d find 29” wheels to be boring as hell. I’ve come from bmx too and 27.5 on my large frame Nukeproof still feel enormous but getting used to them and I think they’re a good balance between getting down anything on the trails and being able to throw it around in the air.
Am I right in thinking you’re Herts. based? If I’m not mistaken I’m near Harpenden and your welcome to pop up and have a smash around on mine to get a feel for sizing (frame and wheels).
