I reckon you'll be struggling for choice on the 26" thing unless you buy new old stock.

Banshee Spitfire with the 26" dropouts, then you have a 650b ready frame for the future. 🙂

Banshee Spitfire
Liteville 301
Knolly Endorphin
Ibis Mojo HD (140mm option)

Wait for the Cotic Rocket to finally appear (although I suspect that's why you started the thread).

Edit:
Evil Uprising
Transition Bandit/Covert

Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon Evo 26 Frame 2014 from Freeborn @ £2,199.99*. Might as well get the best eh?

* Comes with shock and a dropper.

Ooooo the Knolly looks good. As does the Evil.
I have seen CRC are doing Nukeproof Mega TRs for under £700. Anyone know owt about them?

I'm looking for a stop-gap while I wait to see if the Rocket26 appears.

Thank you all.....

There are plenty of Nukeproof Mega users on here. A bit of searching should get you some owner reviews.
I was always annoyed they didn't come with Pikes (compared to the AMs), but if you're using your own, then that goes away.

£700 seems fair.
