Asking because I have some 650b wheels and a 650b fork, was thinking of getting a Solo but lots of people here say the Trc is such a great bike and the frames are selling 2nd hand cheap at the moment

I hear you.
I was planning on getting a Solo, bit after some demo rides I have decided to stay with the TRc conversion.
You are in a slightly different position, since you don't have a TRc.
Here is where a TRc shines compares to a Solo/5010.
- a little bit more playful, poppy and jumpy (might be the shorter CS?)
- a slightly lighter frame
- can take 26" and 650b wheels (it is like having 2 bikes)
- slightly higher BB in 650b mode. This is highly subjective, but I find the 13.1 BB to be a bit too low for me.
Now, what is not so great about the 650b TRc:
- you cant run bigger tires in the back
- you need to limit the travel of the shock with some tires combination
- TRc is known for its disbonding issue, which might be a problem for a second hand owner without a warranty.
Since I already have a TRc, I decided to keep it and not make the switch.
I would reather wait at this point and see what the future brings.
I really liked the Pivot M6, and I already have a 650b RS pike
