I'm looking to buy a new frame and although still on 26'', 650b looks inevitable.
So with 26/27.5 compatibility in mind, Scott Gambler and Transition T500 seems like good choice, been looking to Solid Strike too.
Can someone give me some pros and cons of frames mentioned above or maybe something completely different?

Can't speak to the gambler, but I had a tr500 on 26" wheels and I thoroughly enjoyed that bike. I also rode a tr450 for 2 years before getting the 500.

I felt like the bike cornered well and was also very predictable at speed, comfortable to jump (cornering and jumping are my achilles heal), I also felt very at home on the bike in the rocks and technical bits.
