I have a Lapierre spicy 516 in mint condition with all new bearings and rear bushes that i refurbed last summer and hasn't been used yet.
It,s in medium flavour.

Nothing to stop you using a 27.5 frame.

26 stuff works on 27.5 frames.

you can put 26 inch stuff on a 27.5 frame it will just make it a tad lower. if the frame takes a 140 fork you can run a 150 without any serious geo changes. I run 26 inch wheels and forks on my son's transition scout.
