You could just put all your bits on a 650b frame. If you pick one with a highish BB you might improve it, dropping it on 26 inch.

Depends most 650 bikes are boost spacing, are the hubs on your 26" wheels boost?

Banshee Spitfire does 26 or 650b. There's a nice frame in the classifieds now that I had half an eye on myself.
Edit: you would prob need to buy the 26 dropouts for it.

I wouldn’t buy a new 26 frame.
There must be loads of decent 2nd hand frames about. I have a small orange evo4 (retro!)frame for instance .
