Sweet bikes Nessism! You also have very good taste in saddles, I have been building a collection of those over the past few years so that I am never without one. Nice builds.

650B belt-drive
Here is the first and only mountain bike that I have built as a custom builder. Ian wanted to try out the Carbon Drive System's belt-drive and here it is.

Im about 5'9" tall. The rims are 700c (mavic A719) - the bottom bracket is about 23" off the ground (seat height ~51" off the ground)
I would provide some geometry, but all the plans are just hand drawn 1x1 on paper - which are lurking somewhere.
I dont remember almost any of the exact measurements off hand.

Cool! What did you use for chainstays?
How do you like the height? I had a touring bike with a high BB at one point, at least 10 inches lower than yours. Still gave me a feeling of being up high and seeing everything. I slightly resented it when it got really windy.

It does more than tour 
Are those 650s on the bamboo frame? Also, glad to see the dynamo/planetary geared hubs.
