As someone who still rides 26" proudly (though only a luddite when it's for humors sake), I bought my frame knowing the dropouts could be swapped for a larger wheel size when I eventually get pushed out of 26", and given the limited 27.5" forks on the used market at the time, I knew I would one day need a new fork. Amazingly, I still have no trouble getting my choice of tire in 26", and so for me I really just cant justify new for the sake of new, or different for the sake of different, at the cost of 2 rims, tires, tubes, and a fork.
