Big Wig is currently £299 on CRC. Good deal, I'm almost tempted to try 29" wheels.
#DOIT!
It will surprise you in a good way no doubt!
Ha! No, I really can't. I'm currently waiting for a 650b BTR Ranger to be built for me, I've still got wheels, a dropper post and a few other bits and pieces to budget for.
Steel frame, large size, good Geo - less than £500 for frame ??

Looking for a suitable frame for a friend
Edit!!
BFE or stretch a little to a Shan IMO. I have a NS Eccentric and my only niggle is at times it doesn't feel slack enough despite having -1deg headset in, and the BB drop is small so can feel like I'm stood 'on' the bike if that makes sense.
BFE ticks all my boxes and that new paint job Shan is a little more individual, don't see many on the trails and I like that.............I'm not sure I could choose
