You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Got a 45650b at the minute which I like but would like something a bit longer. I’m riding the large (6ft) which is fine 90% of the time but for the downs id like to be a bit more stretched out. Sub 200 quid and preferably for 140mm fork. Not fussed about boost/none boost
Essentially transfer all bits from my 45650b over
NS Bike Evo Alu - you can get some decent deals at CRC.
If you want steel - try a DMR Trailstar
If you want more aggressive geometry you may have to shop around a bit more as frames like the Sonder Transmitter are a bit more (but they do occasionally have the old models for sale if they are in your size).
Haven't looked at On-One but they have some new frames out, try there too.
Other than that try 2nd hand.
£200 is quite tricky - I picked up a Vitus Sentier in last years sale but there’s nothing on CRC like that yet (I paid £150 for it).
You have several Ragley frames for £299 on CRC or the Sonder Transmitter is also £300.
From time to time Sunset Cycles do Orange frames on offer - any of the Clockwork Evo / P7 / Crush would probably be on the longer side of reach.
Other than that what about On-One - I think the ‘Hello Dave’ is the 650b one and it’s definitely going to tick the long box.
Second-hand P7 - they're mint. I'm bored of raving about mine now.
2015/2016 Cotic BFE which takes QR rear hub non boost etc etc
I have a Sonder Transmitter Large frame in the classifieds for £120 posted if thats any help 🙂
Saw that but would need a boost rear wheel and chainset 😢

You can normally get adaptors to use your existing wheelset boost (assuming its 142x12 instead of the required 148x12), and you don’t always need a specific boost crankset.
You might get away with what you’ve got already - or depending on your cranks you might find they rely on offset in the chainring rather than the crank. Both sram cranks I have are direct mount so younjust change the chainring to suit boost / non boost / fat offset.
