Chinese Carbon MTB > 26er & 27.5 (650b)
XMIplay 650B Carbon Hard Tail
Carbon_Dude:
If I were to build a 650b, it would be the XMIplay IP-136. I rode a Giant XTC 27.5 a few weeks back and I think 26er's are pretty much old school now. I just finished a FS 29er but maybe next year I will think about building something smaller. This frame looks to be a smaller version of their IP-057 which has been a popular seller.

I ordered a ip-136 along with my ip-036, I'll report on it when I get it in a few weeks.
Sitar_Ned:
Yeah plz do Andy... Nor I or CD have one so it'd be great to see yours and get your impressions.
Funny how I'm already thinking about my second build before my first one is even finished.
Bertzhong:
since the 29er is too big and the 26 is too small, the 650b is the excellent choice! :)

Everyone has their own opinion but for my size (6'-0" 190lbs) for me 27.5 is still a bit small, 29" fits me well.
