MY BF had a 29er hardtail frame made custom for him. He was never totally satisfied with the way it handled and he always felt like his center of gravitiy was too high. So he converted it to a 650b and he loves it. The only downside in his opinion is that you have an even greater limitation in tire options than you do with a 29er.
