For the build itself I have decided to go back to the 26" wheels the frame was designed for. I was using 650b x 2" G-one; they worked perfectly, but pushed the stand over height up a bit too far for my dad. So I have:
Frame - Scott Summit X @Hulsroy
Fork - Kona P2
Wheels - Hope Pro 2's on Mavic X223 rims (pictured above)
Tyres - 1.9" Conti Doublefighters
Headset - FSA Orbit XL
Stem - Stayer Gaspipe
Bars - Knock off Jones loop bars with Ergon Grips
Seatpost - BBB Sky Scraper
Saddle - Brooks B17 (brown), which is his prefered saddle
Cranks - Shimano SLX FC-M675 + eBay black Narrowwide
Brakes - Shimano BL-MT400
Gears - SRAM GX rear mech with an X5 shifter
Cassette - some wide range 46t
Pedals - Wellgo platforms
Rack - little SJS one that goes on V brake bosses + black Wald 137
