I've got a 2016 Longitude in a Medium 18" and I'm 5'10" if that's any good.

Haha what a coincidence, leven is the ace bikes for sale hotspot where nobody want's to buy them. I can't shift mines for some reason I thought it would have sold ages ago. Mines is way better spec and cheaper than the other's I've seen for sale. Oh well guess I'll be keeping it

Got a ti Stooge 650b frame only I might be persuaded to let go.
Currently built up and in everyday use but do have another frame lined up.
See Stooge website for details.
They are one size and I am 5'10" so using straight seat post and 60mm stem.
Andrew at Stooge will give you a suggested build and stem length for your height.
Looking for £650 frame only.

Marin Pine Mountain 2017 size Large (the red one) so perfect for your height - Brand new, bought form LBS that was closing down (MuddyBums in Cardiff - I have the receipt) - completely stock and never ridden, but does have a few marks from being on the shop floor, nothing more than the odd paint chip.
The best part is that it comes with a wheel upgrade for bike packing duties - now sporting the original hubs hand built onto Stans Hugo 52 rims, to give a bit more tyre volume for loaded riding.
A little over you budget at £650 collected, but remember, its a new bike with bikepacking upgrades already included !
This is the one I have for sale - not this is a stock image - i am in Norway this week so don't have access to my bike for picture taking.

Out of interest, what are you replacing the Ti Stooge with?
I'm 6ft, and have mine (29+ version) set up singlespeed with a 70mm stem and Jones cut bars, and a layback post. Not selling it though.

Difficult to say maybe Fargo or ATR then there is the Speedball or even upgrade to the full 29er............

You'll notice the difference in the ride between the b+ and 29+ models - longer chainstays so it doesn't feel quite as agile in the turns. It's still a very nice bike though.
